I visited Salmon Indian Ruins on the west Bloomfield city limits recently. The ancient Anasazi people resided in the desert Southwest for hundreds, maybe thousands of years-
I couldn't stoop down safely enough to kiss prickly pear cactus on the visitor center grounds
Below the visitor center, a small village of old life is recreated on the grounds-
Many artifacts were recovered and preserved in the visitor center's gallery-
You won't find these at Wal Mart-
The walkway, which leads to the ruins-
Within the ruins-
The small doorways hint that these people were very small in stature-
A portal in time-
This trickle of spring water was crucial to the existance of ancient locals-
Inside a rebuilt habitat, that's cozy and surprisingly cool in here-
Have a seat, my friends....
Ancient indian art, circa 1980s-
A frontier home, complete with well
Hanging out at the Sweat Lodge. Man, am i sweating!
