Besh-Ba-Gowah

This weekend we went on a little jaunt over to Besh-Ba-Gowah which is an archeological park located in Globe, AZ. Besh-Ba-Gowah has one of the largest single site archeological collections in the southwest and is one of the most significant finds of Southwest archeology. We had planned on going over to the Tonto ruins as well but found ourselves spending a little more time stuffing chips & salsa amongst other items into our mouths. Oh and we also found ourselves a little lost on lets say a primitive road. It was so great to be able to spend some time together as a whole family. I am pretty sure this will not be the last Indian ruin we will visit. For some strange reason both Waylon and I are very interested in the old Native American ways. Perhaps Waylon's love of the culture stems from his Grandma Brian. Grandma and her parents used to take their grandkids on arrow hunting trips. When I first went to visit Grandma at her home in Loa, UT I remember marveling at the perfectly intact white Indian pot that was displayed in their living room under glass. Great Grandpa Smith had found in along the banks of the Colorado river before they damned it up and made Lake Powell. Grandma donated the piece to BYU before she passed on.

P.S. - Maren & Maile added another rock to their collection. The rock came from the local copper mines.
