Adventure Hunt at Cougar Ridge, pt 20 Ancient Bones, Finishing Arrow Shafts

The hunt continues... although we got somewhat sidetracked this week due to NO PICS again on the trail camera, but....

I discovered some bones along the bank of the creek where the water washes away the dirt every winter. Within a couple more years, they will completely vanish. Kinda sad. I am not sure if I should report my discovery or just let it rest in peace since Im pretty sure it is ancient and not a modern... well, death. Im more of the mind to let it be. I would be pretty ticked if someone dug up my grandmother.

I also finish the stone tool arrow shafting. They are getting closer to completion. This is taking some time! Work has been real busy so please be patient. Im getting excited now!

OMG!!! You found D.B. Cooper! Look around for the money!! ha ha

[gotrocksinhead]

@thunderjar74 I already found it! heh, heh

what grit do you think that sand paper plant has?

[gotrocksinhead]

@cekinxxx I would say around 240-320 somewhere around there. The rush also has grooves so it doesnt clog up as fast as regular sandpaper and you can just blow on it or rub it on your pants to clean it out. Pretty cool stuff!

It's very interesting to follow this little series at the cougar ridge and the camera photos from the caveshelter!

I'm very surprised you found the remains of a human in the middle of this!! have you heard anything from the police about it?

@LumocolorARTnr1319 .... the water will have washed it all away and there will be nothing left.

@gotrocksinhead awesome

@LumocolorARTnr1319 The cougar study was a fascinating journey! I never reported the find to anyone. I have many reasons to conclude it was a native burial because of a lot of surrounding evidence. I have chosen to not report anything because there have been numerous cases of a native site being reported and then it magically gets dug up and everything disappears and no one knows what happened. The other thing is the area gets shut down and no one can ever go in there again. In a few years..

@5tonyvvvv My bow is Oregon ash. The string is made from deer sinew and it is about 55 lbs.

@5tonyvvvv it is called scouring rush or horsetail
