Another Other Fish Mouth Pt3: Bears Ears IX
« on: August 29, 2024, 12:07:57 AM »
Climbing back out of the hills of Comb Ridge, I follow a hunch, make a discovery and get introduced to a fresh new passion.

Interesting speculations about the habitations and people that once occupied that region.  Surely someone has studied the locale and written about the anthropology of the possible peoples there?

I've had a quick google...
This wikipedia page has some history and you are broadly speaking right in your speculations, Jbee (although much more poetic!)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bears_Ears_National_Monument
And this page has some spectacular photos and some interesting archaeology

Those are fun from the Washington Post, Nuduke. There is a world class museum in Blanding, Utah. The trip to which I'll be gettig into soon in the series. Then, the plan is to post some of that information into the articles as the stories unfold and we come across examples of the archeological evidence. There is a lot of speculation and detailed evidence of people coming in and out of the region and how the region relates to the rest of the west, including my region. I took pictures of narrative and display that can be embedded into the posts, but I'll have to be careful to not veer off of the free range naturist theme, instead integrate.

We should head back to the Tortolitas where people like this used to live. It's is a hike with a surprise. I haven't been there since before DF's time and have no illustrative photos. It is a nude bushwhack across the bajada flood plain where there are still large excavations collecting rain water for farming. Tthere was a ball court, lots of habitation in the Tortolita area. They found the remains of 40,000 processed agave. I have a bowl of pottery chards just from my property in Tortolita. They used water and stored grains differently down here.

Yep, I've got books, the best magazine on this kind of study comes from Tucson. We're studying the heirloom plants here at mission garden and I have seeds to experiment with (like 60 day corn, and squashes), but I got sick and will now have to wait for next monsoon season to set that up and grow. I've got the University of Arizona study on the Tortolita bajada.

It all helps me to gather a better relationship with the earth, naturist, sustainable, spiritual, health, etc.

I hope that's not recent and that you are over it, Jbee.  Are you OK?

I got some dental work and was given a common antibiotic, which whacked my system until the prescription ran out, then a few days later...covid...AGAIN!!! I spent a time in a fast to readjust and then repopulate my microbiome ecology after these on-slots, but for some reason I got sick this time and had to quit early.

By the time I started to come back to any serious physical function it had been around a month. Bad timing.

I've been doing much to get my self back to snuff. We just got back today from a three day nude mountain backpack trip, several miles with a load and a thousand foot uphill elevation change in the middle of it, so I'm doing good and getting better and better. Heck, I'm in my 70's and it feels like much of my biology is getting younger.

DF is going back east to visit family for three weeks, so while she is gone, I'll give a fast another go toward the end of the month. Hopefully, I can re-calibrate my system back to where I feel more toward optimum. I had had long term covid. Maybe I just fasted too soon (a week or ten days, or so) after covid symptoms, or maybe this or that. I'll see how it goes.

Guess that makes me okay. ;)
