Our friends Dave and Sally had to leave a day early and we have really been missing them. Here are a few more pictures taken when we were down in the canyon. The first two pictures are in the Fate Bell Shelter. You can see how large it is. Imagine living there! It's sheltered from the heat and the wind, but you'd be sharing your living quarters with every wild animal,serpent, and insect in this area. Scary! And no sleeping bags, either. There is evidence of human habitation for many years in this shelter. It is estimated that the paintings in the shelter are at least 4000 years old, I believe. The third picture is Sally and me beside one of the huge boulders in the canyon. On this rock, we found several fossils like the one in the picture.
The weather has been utterly beautiful. The humidity is low so the days warm up to mid 70's, and at night it gets down to the 40's. Very good sleeping weather. We had some 20-30 mph winds a few days ago, but the wind has died down a lot.
We continue to do our work here and enjoy it. It's hard to believe we've been here two whole months, and are starting on our last month here. I am, however, looking forward to seeing our children, grandchildren and friends around Austin come December 1!
