caves and evidence <strong>of</strong> early and extensive<br />

use by <strong>the</strong> Indians.<br />

Traveling sou<strong>the</strong>ast from camp,<br />

along a four-wheel-drive trail you<br />

will come across o<strong>the</strong>r rock producing<br />

flats and washes. A little over six<br />

miles travel will take you alongside a<br />

large wash that harbors several wrecked<br />

auto bodies. These were put here<br />

during <strong>the</strong> war for aerial camouflage<br />

practice.<br />

Along <strong>the</strong> wash in <strong>the</strong> ledges are<br />

geodes that will delight all rockhounds.<br />

Immediately north <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

wash, just above <strong>the</strong> apron, look for<br />

<strong>the</strong> yellowish natural bridge. Also<br />

in this area are many Indian caves<br />

and a few arrowheads and metates<br />

for <strong>the</strong> sharp-eyed explorer. If your<br />

travel in <strong>the</strong> natural bridge area takes<br />

you to a fence—you are at <strong>the</strong> west<br />

boundary <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Papago Indian Reservation.<br />

For rockhounding in <strong>the</strong> desert<br />

adventure unlimited, I recommend<br />

Saucedas. If you plan to use <strong>the</strong> Javelina<br />

Camp you can secure permission,<br />

and more information if you wish,<br />
