The geology evident in your photos looks interesting,and promising.
And the vintage of the metal candle holder should give a possible date range for when it was worked.
The ironwood can be dated as well,of course.
That patch of red dirt behind Cody looks interesting as well.Found a few big patches like that out near a pair of old stone arrastres . I figure that's where they disposed of the grindings.
Like you guys,I like the heat and the solitude it brings.
No snakes to step on ,and none to dog your trail.
Looking forward to more.
