This is a picture of the petroglyphs...they are right in the middle of the pic. Look closely!
There was a small pond at the end of the trail in a little box canyon. When we first arrived we could hear a chorus of frogs singing to (or yelling at) each other. Right as we walked up closer to the pond they all stopped at once. On the other side of the pond were the petroglyphs. Ruth and I climbed (scrambled) over some rocks so we could get a closer look.Here is Ruth posing by the petroglyphs...
On our way scrambling back over the rocks I almost squished a lizard. I tried to catch it but since I am a pansy my method of slowly sneaking my hand up on it didn't work. I'm too nervous to grab it quickly (I can just imagine what would happen if I grabbed too tightly and somehow squeezed it's guts all over my hand...ridiculous, I know). So the lucky lizard got away.
Here is Jonesy and Gareth on the other side of the pond waiting for us to come back...
This is us at the end of the trail by the information sign. Hooray for hiking!
I'm always happy to post pictures of my rear-end. Seriously, I am proud of my buttocks...I think I have a cute backside. (keep it to yourself if you feel differently!) You can only guess who took this picture...
After this hike, we went over to Williams (I had never been and was curious to see it) for lunch. We went to a diner that had homemade pies! BIG mistake....the pieces of pie were HUGE (delicious too). They had this apple strudel cream cheese pie that I wanted to try but since I was sharing with Ruth and she didn't want that one I didn't get to try it....we'll have to go back there before we move.
On the way back we hit two more caches just for fun. One was by the railroad tracks and the other was along Route 66 at a rest stop.
If you don't geocache you are missing out on so much fun. It's a wonderful family activity (even for young families like ours!) I really urge you to try it.

your back side looks great....good for you for posting it. i could never do that!
we have never been geocaching, but it looks really fun. you have made me want to try.
when do you move? i hadn't seen you forever and wondered if you disappeared or something.
We're not exactly sure when we're leaving Flagstaff. We are for sure leaving our apartments on April 30 because our lease is up and our sill apartment manager has stopped doing month-to-month and it would be silly signing a 12 month lease when we know we'll be out of here for sure by July 1. IF we can find a place to stay for two more months we will stay through June 30 because Theatrikos (the local theatre company here) wants Jonesy to work for them until then. SOOOO who knows! Anyone know of somewhere we can live for two months???
Thanks for the compliment on my buns...I don't get to see them very often so it's nice to hear nice things about them from people who get a gander at them more often that I do.
I love your hair long, Havilah! And I wish we lived closer because I *love* geocaching!!!! It's a blast
I told Brian that we're going to go there as a family some day soon. It'll be more fun if someone can hold the kids at bay while I can look at the petroglyphs.
