****Happy Birthday RedHedd****

[RedHedd]

Thanks, everyone! I had a terrific and LONG day with my Archeology of the Bay Area class. We took a field trip up to Pt. Reyes National Seashore, where they have a replica of an Ohlone Indian village. We got to see a demonstration on how they made arrowheads out of obsidian and got to take home souvenirs. I now have an obsidian arrowhead and some pieces of obsidian that were left by the Indians (Native Americans) about 10,000 years ago.

It was such a fun day, trekking in nature - it had just rained so everything was fresh.

Who knew that at my age I would be trouncing around in nature and loving it - took very few pics and accidentally took a pic of a sacred sweat lodge. It's supposedly bad luck to photograph these things so I'm going to delete that pic from my camera just in case

I have a Native American friend who lives in Sedona and he has a sweat lodge in his yard, which he has photographed many times. I'm certainly not one to contradict tradition but my friend sees no harm or superstition in photographing his sweat lodge, so maybe think about it a little longer before you decide to delete the pic. Glad you had a fun birthday!
