We were close to unclogging our blog backlog, but the Price library is closed on summer Saturdays.
On a hunch, we sat on benches outside the library entrance and found the internet service to be excellent. Great library inside and out.
Speaking of libraries, if anyone wishes to pursue some light reading on aspects of the Colorado Plateau’s long cultural traditions, we can recommend a few popular books on the area by authors who know the area well. These are not particularly books about rock art, but about the physical and cultural landscape.
Craig Childs, House of Rain.
David Roberts, In Search of the Ancient Ones.
Reg Saner, Reaching Keet Seel: Ruin’s Echo and the Anasazi.
Tom McCourt, White Canyon: Remembering the Little Town at the Bottom of Lake Powell.
The last book is an account of what is was like growing up in uranium mining country near Moab, before and after your family’s ancestral home is buried under six hundred feet of recreational aqua vita. So were hundreds of ancient Anasazi buildings and rock art sites.
