There's so much in this marvelous Country of ours to see. Wish I had another lifetime to do it.

I know! They are so mystical you can feel the spirits walking with you. A Anasazi artifact collector (grave robber) in Blanding ut -Earl Shumway, I think it was, said he dreamed many times of a medicine man reaching up from his sandy grave and grabbing him by the ankle.
If you are ever on the West end of I-70 right before it intersects I-15 is Fremont Indian St. Park. Right off the freeway and there is a box canyon covered with Pictographs and petroglyphs. I guess it was a freeway for the Fremont too.
