Art ROCKS in Mile Canyon...

So...I went to the Rock Art Foundation Rendezvous and participated in 2 very awesome hikes.  The first was Halo Shelter - an amazingly colorful panel of rock art with multiple anthropomorphs and animals.  The second was a hike through most of Mile Canyon near Langtry, Texas.  There were several sites I took pictures of, including "Bonfire Shelter" where multitudes of buffalo were slaughtered after being driven off the cliff above, and even saw the largest Tinaja ever recorded at the end of the canyon.  It was a very interesting weekend in the Seminole Canyon area.  :)

 Mile Canyon...you can see Eagle Cave on the left side part way up the canyon. You can see there's the typical Texas windmill on top of the canyon on the right!  :)

Part of the canyon that was INFESTED with Monarch Butterflies as they migrated...it was quite beautiful!  :)

Largest recorded tinaja at the very end of the canyon.  Surprisingly, there were an abundance of frogs hanging out there.  :)

Frog Princes...?  The tinaja was quite the SPA resort for the frogs...

Judge Roy Bean museum: remains found in the canyon.  This was a skull of a mother and child who were likely brutally murdered.

Arrowhead collection from those found in the canyon.

More arrowheads from the canyon.

Remains found in Mile Canyon of a 30ish yr old male who died from chagras (assassin beetle).

Me in my baggy field gear with Jack Skiles, historian and author of "Judge Roy Bean Country".  He was gracious enough to show us his personal museum and allow us to access the canyon from his back yard.

No country for old goats!

Very interesting rock formations in a particularly boulder-ridden part of the canyon.
