The Cliff Dwellings.....North of Lake Roberts lies a beautiful setting, in the mountainside. Grandma and Papa John took us on a ride and we went to the Cliff Dwellings. We got to walk up the mountain, and then inside the places where the indians lived. Even grandma made the hike. It wasn't too hard, but it was a hike.
Ronnie found a great walking stick for grandma that helped her to make the hike. Ronnie however does not like to have his picture taken hence the frown on his face.
Lacy wants to live here when she becomes an indian. She doesn't really understand the idea that there are still indians, they have just evolved as we have. There were still eaten corn cobs in the little rooms. We climbed up ladders and into little rooms. The rocks were still held together by the clay that they had used as a type of cement. IT was really neat. And the kids had a good time.
On the walk down, we took a few breaks in the shade. It was interesting with all the pretty rocks and beautiful green shrubs and trees. We spotted poisonous plants and great areas where the indians might have climbed. We even found an arrow head. Made from some type of obsidian stone. It was really cool. August was a little bit hot, but we managed it, as it is nothing like Arizona heat where we came from.
