Out and about yesterday

[tamrock]

These I took yesterday starting at 4:30 pm, going out on a ride to hopefully finds some artifacts on the hills outside of town. These are some I took along the way. This big old scruffy looking cat was busy hunting and diving after something in the tall grass along the trail. I saw lots of rabbits also and a couple of ducks who found an old tire in the creek pretty useful to hangout on. I looked around the hill for sometime and only managed to find a couple of flint flakes is all. I did manage to find some items to assemble a totem to the hill. There was a very nice breeze on top this late afternoon and I can see the vegetation on the hill is beginning to change color as we head towards the fall. Some years in September we'll get some pretty heavy rains and if that happens the odds of finding some exposed artifacts may make hunting for them a little better. It's not the greatest spot for artifacts I've ever searched around, but so far the only hill I've ever found any evidence of ancient activity around here. I believe the hill was a place that was a landmark location where the South Platte river trail splits off at one other larger creek an in to two or maybe three different directions to the south along the front range as it's a place where one larger spring feed stream runs into a place where two other mountain streams merge all together and a place you can see all the lower land around in almost all directions. Anyways that's my theory on why this hill does product evidence of ancient activity.

So...where's Ollie and Bella??

So...where's Ollie and Bella??

I was on my peddle bike. I use to have a dog that would pull me on it, but Ollie's to much of a radical hair brain for me to attempt to do that with. If he was along and saw that rabbit or cat I'd be yanked off that bike in an instant. I meet with a dog trainer last week over getting some dog schooling for him as he's really my wife's pup and she can't hang on to to him. I took him to some training classes when he was under a year, but that's kind of all worn off of him now. I just don't spend the time to work on him as much as I should. Some dogs are just better behaved then others and much easier to work with. Ollie ain't one of those, but he's well loved anyways.
