About
A green spot in the middle of the desert. Murray Springs Clovis Site is an archaeological site named for the nearest natural feature, Murray Springs, which is actually located ½ mile east. It is a desert spring marked by a stand of cottonwood trees; a wonderful place to see birds, but not enough water for swimming. Thirteen thousand years ago the climate of southern Arizona was quite different. It was cooler and wetter, and not a desert at all. Very large animals, or mega-fauna, like mammoths, mastodons, giant ground sloth and saber-toothed cats were living then.
Thank you very much for the input. I actually hiked there because there is a knoll just east of the sight. This knoll has a panoramic 360 degree view. To the south is the San Joe Mountain, to the east is the Mule Mt, to the northeast is Cochise Stronghold (Dragoon Mt) and to the east is the Huachuca Mt. I tried to get pictures of the sunrise, but the weather did not cooperate. Maybe I should have waited for the sunset Sunset Man
At first I thought it was going to be about Clovis, New Mexico as a thumbnail to speak about UFOs although I still like these kind of informative images although perhaps not 'Commercial' material for selling of course and I really like the fact that you took the time to educate us a bit.
