This little leather fringe comes from a Ute encampment. Hard to get into and a lot of walking. But this site produced some amazing finds. I took a day two months ago to it with my Dad more for a look around. As my dad and I talked we both agreed it was more sentimental of the time spent there. It had been about ten years for both of us from visiting the site which has a wickeeup still standing. It holds many memories and when up there it was said if these trees could talk. the stories they would tell. I'm sure the stories they would tell on our time spent there would fill a book. He wanted to visit the wickeeup for another time and I was happy to be able to be on that trip. As we found little but gave me the sense we were home and huge part of my youth growing up. We took our time getting there and back for I stayed paced with him as we walked and talked. We come in from different directions from where we live, I have gone both ways both are spectacular. this time I came in the other direction and met him to make the drive together. You round a bend on a road to a canyon and it opens up to a place that is in another world trapped in time. A mountain center with the valley floor surrounding it and still twenty miles away. One trip I will remember, and glad to share.

There has got to be just an ancient...eerie yet peaceful and calm feeling that comes over one when in that kind of area...yes if those trees could talk...I love those remote areas where the silence is deafening...Last edited by BabaORiley; 09-05-2018, 02:27 PM.The chase is better than the catch...
