Sabbath with the Indians.

We took a trip up to the Murphy's(Sean, Alana and Keiran) Sabbath. They only live a few miles from Indian Grinding Rock, so we headed over there for some fresh air and a look around the park.
Here is a photo of a tee pee, notice to the right a storage shed made up of four posts with branches wrapped around it.


The remains of the potholes they used to grind.



The Poscoi'a we'a. Notice the deer in the field. The game field looks similar to a football field on a smaller scale.




The front of the Roundhouse.



We could not go inside the Roundhouse, it was barred, this was taken at the entrance.

The back of the Roundhouse.


Sean, Alana and Keiran welcoming us into their tee pee.



Keiran sitting on the base of a big Oak tree.


We ended the Sabbath with the scene of a true sundown. The picture is just a glimpse of the true beauty it portrayed. Colors of red, orange, pink, blue, purple. Just breath taking.

I never saw that when we lived in California. That's really interesting. How far from Manteca?

Cecelia,
It is just out of Jackson area, which is about an hour from here. Not to far from Daffodil Hill. I can't believe you never went there.
Momma, next time to you come to Calif.(and stay a while) we will take you there.

It won't be long said...

It sort of makes me miss living in Ca. I remember Indian grinding rock well, many school trips. H
