That's not fair Neal! (blaming Jeeps, that is) LOL
Without deflating tires for sand, even a Toy gets burried (I know)!
I am looking forward to the rest of your trip discoveries!!!

Google Earth Pix
Using the coordinates Neal gave, does this look like the location. It looks like Palm trees to the left.

TW - yes it does
Neal and Bill walked I'd guess less than 600 yards downstream. Along the way they came across what they described as a row of tamarisk trees,
obviously planted that way. The white "building" north of the stream, sort of in the horseshoe - with what appear to be roads leading to and away from
it, is a cistern or water holding basin.
There is also remnants of a sort of stone dam not far downstream from the stone corral - maybe 100 yards. - Gulick mentioned a dam in one of his
narratives.
Hopefully Neal will be up before noon today and comment also. You no doubt have heard how the older generation needs a little more sleep that us
younger folks.
No Indian rock art of any kind was found by any of us - so far as I know.

The row of tamarisk trees is the line across the arroyo in the left side of this pic downstream and of course are a rancher addition as they were not
around in the ECR days.
