lol the Indians weren't grinding grain... they were grinding acorns from all the black Oak trees in the area! been there many times in the past... have you found the Blackstar silver mine(s)?

[davidsquall351]

@stevezone Nope, dont go to mines that often. Some day

Those holes in the rock are just awesome. You can almost picture native villagers preparing their meals as they grind their grain. Its wild to think that when that happened, there was a thriving community of people who lived, hunted, gathered, raised families, told stories, etc. etc. for generations - where now there is quiet. When they lived in that place, the Grizzly roamed the wild. Incredible! Thanks for sharing that gem of a video!!!!
