[pct-l] southern section ramblings correction



In geological time it is but a blink of the eye.  However, in Indian time it 
is many, many moons! 

I have found obsidian chips and arrowheads all over the Southern Sierra well 
away from any of the sources.  The Indians must have used the Sierra as a huge 
resource of food for many and many moons to have discarded and distributed so 
much over such a huge area.

>From a geologist's point of view, even the dams on the Colorado are but 
short, temporary structures.  Throw in a few million years and they just be another 
rapid, provided us humans don't throw more concrete in and dredge out the 
sand and silt and mud that is filling up every reservoir on the Colorado at a 
torrid rate.

""There sections of a pre-Cambrian indian trail intact in some of the 
remote areas of the Colorado desert, and obsidian from Inyo county has 
been found in digs near the Mexican border in Otay lakes. (southeast San 
Diego) These settlements where the artifacts were found date back to at 
least 10,000 years."" 

It should read Pre-Columbian. 

What's millions and millions of years difference though???
