One of the things we like about this area of the country are the BLM Lands. These are lands that are owned by all American citizens. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is the governing body that cares for the land and assists people who want to enjoy them for recreation.<\/p>\n

Close to the park is an area that was used by the Native Americans as a hunting tool. Before the Indians in this area were using horses to hunt, they would drive herds of buffalo\/bison off the cliffs of the sink holes to their deaths. Those that did not die from the fall were then killed with spears by Indians waiting in the trenches.<\/p>\n

Here is a picture of the trench.<\/p>\n

The ranger said that we would see buffalo\/bison bones protruding from the banks of the Kill Zone trench. It was pretty cool; we saw leg bones and skulls.<\/p>\n

Farther down the trench we came to the Natural Bridge, formed by the erosion of the gypsum and salt deposits.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0062\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a pretty big bridge.<\/p>\n

Sophie was happy to get out of the hot sun. I don\u2019t know, I think the red rock kind of clashes with her coat.<\/p>\n

Swallows were using the underside of the Bridge for nest building. It was neat to see the nests up close. They were empty though.<\/p>\n

John\u2019s seen something I just know we are going to have to go investigate. He has that look on his face.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0059\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Apparently he saw an owl fly out of the cave and land on the rock face farther up the trench. We had a hard time picking him out on the expansive rock face, but he was kind enough to hold still long enough for us to find and photograph him.<\/p>\n

Do you see him? He was quite a bit away from us and really blended in well.<\/p>\n

Here is a close up.<\/p>\n
