Join Volunteer Archaeologist and Certified Naturalist Hank Barber for a fascinating and unforgettable look at how the ingenious desert Indians used plants for food, clothing, shelter and medicine. During this trip they will be discussing how the Indians used mesquite, agave, creosote and other plants. And stop at a mesquite grove in Yaqui Wells, then visit an important ancient Kumeyaay village site at Mine Wash to look at rock shelters and ceremonial features. Also see hundreds of bedrock mortars, slicks, basins and rubs that were used for milling food. Along the way, identify desert wildflowers in bloom. Please bring lunch, hat and ample water. High clearance, 2-wheel drive is okay. Meet in the outer area of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Visitor Center parking lot.
