Palm Park - Caballo Mountains

canyon at Palm Park

 Multiple fragments from a single rock would seem to indicate that this was a tool making site.

We did this short hike in early December after eating at the Pepper Pot in Hatch.  Not a lot to say about this one.  It was way too warm. It seems nowadays our fall time of year has shifted and really winter doesn't arrive until after Christmas.We turned around at a dry waterfall in a canyon I had come down many years ago when I was out poking around all the old mining prospects in the area. There were lots of lithic flakes and fragments along the way. I've visited this general area a lot over the years. Being out there again after staying away for quite awhile has renewed my interest. There's still a couple of hikes I might want to do.

Later in December I led a guided hike to  Broad Canyon. It always makes me happy to bring people to see this very special place.
