I wii never go there, but have an interest in the subject. The etching of breech birth reminded me of pictograph i saw on lage rocks on farm in Southern Mo,near Missippi river. The figure had several large eggs<br />In a half circle below it, supposedly representing a multiple birth.

You've probably read "Finders Keepers" but if not, you'd probably find it interesting. We're just home from a week on the Comb Ridge--nice and warm for this time of year! I hope you guys are doing well!Ken Driesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14800366287777780421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4623122414867216011.post-27363934326828473722022-02-07T12:27:50.588-08:002022-02-07T12:27:50.588-08:00Hi Ken, Beautiful photos that bring back great mem...Hi Ken, Beautiful photos that bring back great memories of my time as a seasonal ranger in Natural Bridges in 1984! I had the opportunity to do many hikes in Grand Gulch and surrounding canyons. Unfortunately I also witnessed evidence of grave robbing that occurred in between two visits to the same site, just a few weeks apart. Scandalous that the BLM knew the likely suspects but could only arrest if they were caught in the act. <br />We are looking forward to spending some time in the US this April-July now that the borders are finally reopening. Would be great to see you.
