Archeology Field Trip

Evan and I went on an archeology field trip this past week. There is a canyon called Range Creek between Price and Green River on the Tavaputs Plateau that is chalk full of Fremont Indian petraglyphs and ruins that have virtually been untouched for a thousand years.

We spent a couple of days hiking and scanning the canyon walls for interesting sites. The few we managed to spot made for excitement as we put our route-finding and climbing skills to the test as we went in for closer looks. The nights were cold and we were only slightly concerned by the recent bear activity around the campground (there was only one time that I was convinced a bear was right outside my tent).
