BACKTRACK - Charleston
Thirteen people and one happy dog rambled along by the river and crossed it several times on logs or through the water. Then through the mesquite to find adobe wall ruins and ancient petroglyphs. As the day got warmer we passed the stone walls of the old mill and took refuge in the big graffiti tunnel for a shady cool lunch by the river. Cara's ice cold drinks were waiting at the cars for the after party. Lots of photos were taken > muleteam.shutterfly.com - Larry
