Not really ABDSP but a little closer to home. Went out trying to photograph golden eagles to help document endangered wildlife to help fight the Sunrise Powerlink and some of the wind energy projects planned in the area. The eagles stayed elusive in the 97 degree heat that day but I did see vultures and hawks and some indian occupation sites.
No SPL access signs everywhere, they are already building towers near Buckman Springs road and also north into CNF on Thing Valley road
Entrance to a rock shelter that had detailed rock stacking in the back
Inside the cave, it was roomy enough for 3 people and had built in rock seats, notice the detailed rock stacking in the back wall
Here is the back wall from the outside
Scat de jour
Back of the rock shelter from a distance
This is a "Cuyamaca Oval" bedrock basin metate. It is oval and somewhat shallow, unlike the deeper, round morteros you see in the desert areas
This large boulder has both Cuyamaca Ovals and a single deep mortero
There was a lot of pottery in the area also
There was a very long rock wall at the entrance the habitation area, this is the left side
