Blythe Intaglios and Other Adventures

Last Monday, our Saylorville friends went with us over into California to see the Blythe Intaglios. These are similar to the one that I wrote about last month. You can click here to learn more.







On the way home we drove out into the desert near here to see some petroglyphs and grinding mortars







These grinding mortars were used by the natives to grind corn or other seeds.



We spotted this bird near there. It is called a Phainopepla



On Tuesday, we went on a desert trek with some other Jeepers. One of our stops was this old abandoned mine. 










On Wednesday, we went to the Cibola National Wildlife Refuge with our friends from Saylorville.


We saw a lot of birds that winter there. pelicans, snow geese, ducks, canadian geese, and sandhill cranes.









The visitor center had a nice solar panel array.


The hummingbirds were busy at the feeder.


On Friday we had another Jeep trek out to what they call the Blue Wall,
