Walking the Land: Sedona Chakra System: Grandmother Komwida’s Kitchen the Navel/Sacral chakra

Today, March 31, 2009, Marty Rienstra, my mystical adventure side-kick and friend and I were going to try and find the sacral/navel chakra of Sedona’s energy landscape. In Nicholas R. Mann’s book, Sedona, Sacred Earth, he awarded the navel/sacral chakra to a huge area. He didn’t pinpoint a specific spot as he had in some others. There were lots of possibilities here and so our work was cut out for us.

On the way to pick Marty up at 8:00 a.m., I saw six hot air balloons on the way toward Sedona. As I got closer to Marty’s turn off, there were yellow signs warning: Survey Crew. And, indeed, as I pulled into their road, there was the survey crew with two yellow tripods and shooting distances with them.

I told Marty it was a balloon and survey day. I also said that hot air balloons looked like wombs (pear shaped like a woman’s uterus). And that the number 6 is considered the number of perfection by some Native American nations. It is a combination of the four major directions, North, East, South and West, plus Father Sky and Mother Earth. They comprise the sacred six energy.

I handed her the Wilson Mountain U.S.G.S. topographical map that I’d picked up at the US Forest service visitor’s center in Village of Oak creek. I said, “There’s our survey map,” and we both laughed again. I was pointing out some things on the topo map to her because she was in training with me to learn to read the land. I told her I’d started using topo maps, where I could get them, in my understanding of an area. First, I looked at the highest altitude features because energy was controlled and contained by those highest hills, peaks or mountains.

Secondly, I told her to look at where the lines were many (indicating steep altitude of the landscape) and see if she could ‘see’ any symbols, animals or objects that reminded her of anything. To give her an example, I showed her a hummingbird with along beak flying with its wing brought forward and tail behind it. There is was: in the topo map. It is important to see if you recognize shapes or symbols because they will tell you more about a given area. When you can begin to ‘put the dots together’ you have a sense of what type of energy you are dealing with.

This is a USGS topographical map (topo). Do you see anything in it? Look closely and you’ll see a hummingbird….

The hummingbird in the landscape was pointing its long beak directly at Long Canyon where Isis Rock is located. I told her we would buy a lot of topo maps to cover a major area from Westfork in Oak Creek Canyon down to Mingus Mountain in Cottonwood, over to Cornville and then the area we would be looking in today. This is another layer of what I work with when ‘walking the land.’ Topos can give you some good clues about how and where energy is working (whether bouncing off radar dishes of U-shaped formations that I call wombs, or mountains or highest elevations areas controlling where the energy goes, etc.).

I’ve gone over the hummingbird with a black felt tipped pen so you can see the outline of it. Now, look at the topo map above this. Did you see the shape of it in the land? Also, I wanted to point out Grassy Knolls right in front of the hummer. Plus, the hummer is looking directly into Long Canyon. All clues…. but this deserves a blog on its own in the future to say more. Marty said on the way over to Village of Oak Creek, that she wasn’t sure where we should go–it seemed to be scattered over such a large area. I told her if the other chakras were in a specific spot, so was the navel/sacral chakra. She nodded and said that the “Devil’s Dining Room” is what drew her. That is was a sink hole. I wrinkled my nose over the name. People who are afraid of an energy call it a “devil” because they don’t understand it and are fearful of it. We decided to call it Komwida’s (First Woman of the Yavapai creation story) Kitchen. Why? Because the navel/sacral chakra is contained in your abdominal area. And for women, that is where the womb is located; the center of creation for human beings. And you cook and bake in a kitchen. We were laughing at how we changed the name to reflect no fear, rather, what this area might really be: a womb. So, from now one as I write this report, that will be known as Komwida’s Kitchen.

We got another hilarious laugh as we pulled into the Marketplace Restaurant in the Village of Oak Creek to get breakfast. It is located in a factory outlet mall. And as we turned, the first store in front of us said: KITCHEN KONNECTION. We just burst out in laughter and agreed that Komwida’s Kitchen was definitely being double checked by Great Spirit. We tittered all through breakfast over this synchronicity and it also sewed up any doubts we had about going to this sink hole to check it out.

Here is the store, Kitchen Konnections which we just howled about…we were going to a “kitchen” as indicated on the trail map. And here it is here as we pull in to eat breakfast. Amazing synchronicity!

In my experience, sink holes are very, very important energy openings (and closings). They are created geologically in our area by water seeping deep into the limestone area beneath us and over time, it creates a vast hole. As a consequence, all the earth above it collapses into it, leaving a ‘hole.’

Symbolically a hole represents an emergence opening, a tunnel, an entrance or a discharge or intake point energetically speaking. It can represent the birth canal of a woman; the entrance to her womb (beneath the earth). There also can be a vortex with it, as well, but not always. I felt from all the careful descriptions that Mann gave to the area, that this should be our focus because of my knowledge of sink holes. This was, after all, the navel chakra; the chakra in women where the womb was located. It was a no brainer for me to start at the sink hole because of what it represented. I told Marty if that didn’t pan out, we’d just follow our wolf noses and see where Spirit led us.

At the restaurant, I’d ordered a “Sedona Skillet.” It was supposed to have three eggs scrambled with ham and home fries. When it arrived at my table, all I saw was whites of eggs scrambled. The waitress hastily explained that the guy in the back misunderstood and thought I wanted only egg whites. Horrified, I told her I had to have the yolk where the protein was at. She agreed he’d scramble me three more eggs–with yolks included this time. I thanked her.

And here are my white, scrambled non-yolk eggs! Talk about shocked.

Marty was barely able to stop from laughing out loud. She said, “Did you notice the YOLK was missing? That’s the most important part of the egg. The part that gets impregnated and a baby is created.” I laughed with her as I stared down at my scrambled egg whites. We discussed that we were definitely on an ‘egg’ journey symbolically speaking. The ‘egg’ shape of the hot air balloons, the egg which sits in the womb of the woman to be fertilized and the fact we were looking for THE place of the sacral/navel chakra for the Sedona landscape which represents the womb of a woman. This little synchronistic event wasn’t lost on us and I took a photo to prove it.

We were looking for Morgan Road and as we got near an unmarked road, a Pink Jeep showed up at it. I told Marty it had to be the road. Of course, there was no road marker to say what the name of it was, but on the map, it showed a “jeep trail (Pink Jeeps)” next to where we wanted to go and I felt it was a cosmic sign to turn. Further down the asphalt street, we did see a sign and it said: Morgan Road and drove to the end of it. Another Pink Jeep came by to reassure us that we were on the right track! I loved all this cosmic help. This brought us to Broken Arrow trail head. There was a Pink Jeep trail that paralleled it too. We parked and got out and saddled up. The day was coolish, blue sky and bright sunshine. Perfect.

Here is the USFS sign for the Broken Arrow trail that we took to find Grandmother Komida’s Kitchen (aka Devil’s kitchen) and to get to the “Madonna Rock” area talked about by Nicholas R. Mann in his book.

As we got onto the trail, almost immediately, I got severely dizzy. So dizzy that I couldn’t walk straight. I kept trying to feel if the dizziness was clockwise or counterclockwise. Couldn’t tell. I knew we’d hit a very powerful vortex area. The indications for it were written all over the place in the mountains that surrounded this valley. This valley was located in front of us. There was a U-shape red butte known as “Twin Buttes” on our side. Opposite on the other side of the valley was a tremendous U-shaped formation that was part of Munds Mountain. As I looked at it, I realized the valley was round-shaped and buttressed by mountains on all sides. Where was the birth canal? If the sink hole was ground zero–that is–the sacral/navel chakra of Sedona, it would have one.

Pink Jeeps played an important part in us finding, first, the right road to turn on to get to the Broken Arrow trail and later, to help us find the sinkhole.

I mentioned to Marty about the powerful dizziness that never left us. She experienced as much as I did. I knew we were in an androgynous vortex and it was one of the most powerful I have felt in a long time. As we rounded the corner, we looked up and saw a “singer” in the red butte above us. Clearly, the face could be seen. Then, a strange thing happened–there was a silver or metallic piece high up on the ‘face’ itself. The eastern sun was shining brightly and we didn’t know what it was. I told Marty that someone with climbing experience had to put, whatever it was, up there. There was no other way to get something up there. To me, it signaled to pay attention. This place was powerful and something was here.

Here is the “singer’s” face (as Marty and I called this formation). You can see a bright object near its nose. It only became visible after we were standing there. Later on in the day, you could not see it. Whatever it was (?) it was either a magical moment for us or someone had to rock climb or rappel down to put something (mirror?) there. Who knows? But, it was a huge clue that the sinkhole was very close to this singer.

At one point along the trail there was lots of orange and black butterflies. And from that point on, we had them flying around us to the very end where we stopped the hike–and they came back with us as well! The orange is the color of the sacral/navel chakra. The black is about the mystical feminine–the darkness of the womb where creation occurs. We were glad to have their company on our adventure! A good sign that we were in harmony with the area. They also act as ‘guides’ and guardians on our journey as well. And of course, butterflies are symbols of coming out of one’s cocoon and emerging as a bright, beautiful being. They were wonderful companions.

After a while, we stopped. And when we did, I closed my eyes. The rainbow snake, who is called “Bololokan” by the Yavapai (and it means ‘water serpent’) appeared in front of me. I wasn’t expecting her. She told me to watch. She raced over to where the U-shape was located on the opposite side of the valley and then did a series of figure-8 like movements between the U-shape and somewhere outside of where we were, possibly the Capitol Butte area where her sipapu, or emergence hole, was located on Rainbow Bridge. She kept weaving these beautiful rainbow colors into this figure eight until it looked like hundreds of colorful threads bound together. I was confused and didn’t know what she was doing, so I asked. She told me I would answer that myself soon enough. And then, she disappeared. I told Marty what happened. She didn’t have an answer either.

Then, as we drunkenly wove down the path, it parted into two trails. The sign had an arrow and a cairn of rocks pointing to the trail on the right, so we took it.

Across from us was this tremendously powerful U-shaped canyon that is part of the Munds Mountain formation. Marty and I both felt the energy in our heart chakra. And it was strong and palpable right near where the sinkhole (Gram Komida’s Kitchen) was located.

I saw the birth canal. As we rounded the butte, there it was. It was an area that was long and narrow that flowed into the round valley out in front of us. Here was the womb and here was the birth canal. Where was Komida’s kitchen? The sink hole?

Here is a map showing the area we were in. The circle with the triangle in it shows where the sinkhole (Devil’s Kitchen aka Komwida’s Kitchen) is at. I’ve made two drawings to show the womb (circle) of the area along with the birth canal (the two parallel lines leading to the womb). This configuration is completely determined by the geology of the area. Again, for us, a huge indicator that the sacral chakra is located in this area. Even the mountains and buttes are verifying it.

We kept walking. We stopped on the other side of the singer’s face. There, carved on a rock was a heart with a long, oval and narrow thing within it. I thought it might look like an insect body but looking at it closely, I decided it wasn’t. I didn’t know what it meant. Marty then pointed to the rock next to it. It was a rectangle with a series of geometric lines inside it. I felt someone who knew what they were doing, had put these marks here. The sink hole had to be around here. But where? I was so drunk and dizzy with the power of the vortex that we were on top of, that I couldn’t ferret out any particular direction. And, when I asked the Rainbow Snake where it was at, she didn’t show up and answer either. We were on our own.

Here is the rock that had the mysterious markings on it (the heart with the long, oblong thing within it and the geometric design). Marty found this–I had walked by it, completely oblivious to it. This rock is right near the sinkhole. But we didn’t know it at the time!

You can barely make out the heart with the oblong ‘thing’ in the center of it from this stone that was a clue that the sinkhole (the sacra chakra) was close.

Here is the geometric drawing on the rock. I did some enhancing to try and bring out the scratchings on the rock so you can see it better (I hope). Anyway, there is a diamond-pattern that repeats itself inside the rectangular box. For me, I saw the Rainbow Snake doing her ‘figure eight’ with the strands of chakra colors earlier and that is what I recognized in this pattern. You may see something different.

We kept walking. The next bit butte formation on our right was known as the Twin Buttes. I pointed out to Marty it was the perfect U-shape arms that usually indicated a womb of energy. But, no sink hole. I kept getting pulled down the trail and at a certain point, we came to Submarine Rock. It is a long red smooth sandstone with two round circles at either end of it. We continued up toward Chicken Point trail head.

Along the trail we came upon this magnificent juniper that was dead–but still gorgeous and huge. You can see just how large she was (probably close to five to eight hundred years old when she finally passed on) with Marty standing beside her. The trail is beautiful to hike.

We felt like we’d lost Komwida’s kitchen. At a certain point, we went out on the smooth red sandstone and a Pink Jeep came crawling up with a load of passengers to where we were standing. Marty went over and ask the guide where the sink hole was at. He pointed and said, “A long way back that way.” We had somehow missed it. He gave us specific directions. And, the area where we’d been so dizzy and unable to walk straight was exactly where the sink hole or Komida’s Kitchen was located. We thanked him. I told Marty I wanted to continue up the trail because I was powerfully drawn to whatever was around the corner of this butte. She agreed.

We were at this point on the trail when the Pink Jeep arrived to tell us the sinkhole was the ‘other way.’ Marty and I felt this was a mother, father and child in sandstone–another indicator of the sacral chakra of birthing children and family themes found abundantly in this valley area along the Broken Arrow trail.

Eventually, I found what I’d been looking for. Out on the smooth red sandstone skirts as we emerged from the trail, we saw what is known as the “Church Spires.” There are five red sandstone formations–two of the biggest being pyramid shape (lest we forget, Marty’s Triangle with the eye in it had been repeating itself over and over again. Triangles were everywhere on this landscape, including here, at this one as well). In his book, Mann points out “Madonna Rock” which was to the right of where we were standing–long red thin spires–two of them.

This was the end of our trail where I’d been drawn to the energy. This is the “Madonna rock” area that Mann said had lots of energy–and he was right. There was an incredible power of energy pulsing between these ‘five fingers’. This is the wrong angle to shoot this photo, but if you moved to the left of the photo, you would see that all five ‘fingers’ were there and looked like a hand with spread fingers. It is through these that the colors of the chakras were sent Bololokan (Yavapai name for the water serpent in the Sedona area and I also refer to it as the “Rainbow Snake”–one in the same) through these areas as strands of color that then took part in a greater event that occurred later.

As I sat looking and studying this interesting formation where the energy was really wailing through the ‘fingers’ as I called them, I told Marty that it reminded me of hand with five fingers spread wide. And indeed, there were five parts to it. I held my own hand up and said the energy was moving through them and sweeping down into the valley behind us toward the unknown Komwida’s kitchen.

I told Marty I wanted to see if I could call the Rainbow Snake and ask her about this area. As I closed my eyes, I did not see her. But what I did see was amazing. Between the two largest pyramid shaped ‘fingers’ I saw the colors of red, orange and yellow flowing into the vast valley. Between the second pyramid and the first red spire (the mother of Madonna rock), I saw the colors blue and green flowing through in single strands, glistening and moving swiftly also into the valley. Between the Mother and child of Madonna Rock, I saw the color purple flowing into the valley. The last, looking like a small little finger that stood apart from the massive butte itself, I saw white-gold color flowing in.

As I followed all of this, I saw some of the colors going in individual gleaming strands and curving down into the valley. I was amazed and stumped by what I was seeing. Coming out of my altered state, I told Marty what I’d seen. “It’s like threads of color,” I told her. “Weaving?” Marty asked. Suddenly, it hit me. I stared at the five “fingers” again. “You know what? These are spindles that you’d find on a loom. Spindles each held a color that would be used in the warp and weft of a weaving of a cloth. I excitedly told her what I’d realized. No wonder this place was rocking with power! The Rainbow snake was sending all the colors of the chakras through the fingers of this formation and as she did, they separated into individual chakra colors.

“Womb to Loom,” Marty said, grinning. I felt stunned by this realization. “Weaving of creation,” I murmured, trying to put it all together. And then, I gasped. “Marty, when the Rainbow Snake showed me that figure eight of threads she was making that was a skein of yarn!

Marty nodded and held up her hands. “My Mother used to have me hold my hands apart like this and she’d do figure eights of yarn between them.”

“Right,” I said, excitedly. “And you tied the yarn off in the middle!” What the Rainbow Snake had shown me was the finished product at the other end of the valley. The threads of colored energy came through the fingers where we stood below them. But what happened to them? That stumped me.

“Well,” I said, let’s get back and find Grandma’s kitchen!” I was really jazzed now. A funny thing happened on the way back. We were in an androgynous vortex. And ‘somehow’ we got placed on another trail we’d never seen before, nor had we seen it earlier. And by this time, our auras had adjusted to the energy of this vortex and we were no longer dizzy and walking funny. But, as we got close, we both felt like we’d gone through an invisible ‘wall’ of energy. It was very obvious and we both stopped and looked at one another. Over another rise, there was a barbed wire fence around Komwida’s Kitchen. There it was!

Mystified, Marty and I looked around. HOW did we get here? We’d never been on this trail before. The vortex had placed us magically on another trail and taken us right to it! Excitedly, we went over to it.

At last! We found the sacral/navel chakra of Sedona! It is completely ringed with barbed wire to keep people from getting too close and falling in and killing themselves. We sat outside of it under some trees and in the shade.

At last! We’d been magically set upon the right trail and we were led right to Komwida’s Kitchen! The sinkhole is the physical sacral/navel chakra for the Sedona region.

The sinkhole was huge! It was about thirty feet across and roughly ninety feet deep. You couldn’t even see the bottom. What made me thrilled was the sink hole was right at a group of formations that double checked it as the sacral/navel chakra area. We had the birth canal and we had the U-shaped butte formation like the ‘arms’ that the energy from it spilled out into the round-shaped valley down in front of us. Perfect. It’s always perfect!

Here is looking into the amazing sinkhole. This was the cause of our ‘dizziness’ in the first half of our long hike. We’d passed this place by taking the wrong trail and missed it–but the energy is so powerful and steady that it blasts one’s aura–until the aura can adjust to the higher frequency. By the time we came back and found Komwida’s Kitchen aka the sacral/navel chakra of Sedona, we were no longer dizzy and grounded once more. Our auras had finally adjusted to that local energy being sent out from this huge vortex spot.

A few groups of people came and went from the area. We waited patiently, drank water, sat down and rested. It felt good to be here. After the people left, I told Marty I wanted to see if Bololokan, the Rainbow Snake, would come.

Here is the geologic information on a sinkhole and how it is formed. Always good to know one’s geology!

I had no more than closed my eyes and I felt as if I was suddenly immersed in a kaleidoscope of rainbow colors. I was watching the ‘threads’ from the “spindles” being swiftly woven horizontally and vertically. When it was done being woven, it was rectangular shape and floated up, up, up like a feather on the wind toward the sky.

Remember I had commented about ‘twisted’ tree trunks and that it meant a vortex was in that area? Well, here’s a cedar tree trunk right next to the sinkhole/chakra and you can see how twisted the pattern on the bark is. And it wasn’t the only tree to show the motion of the vortex coming out of the sinkhole.

Bololokan came. She explained that yes, this was Komwida’s chakra. And that the entire valley was a place where rainbow blankets were created. I asked her why. She said that this area was the only one on this continent and that the energy rugs containing all the chakra colors were manufactured right here at the navel chakra.

Confused, I asked the snake what they were for. She said that these energy blankets were sent anywhere needed to help reestablish unity and harmony on a specific part of Mother Earth. For example, she showed me a city. The lines of energy were wrecked, thinned out and some were broken because the city had not been built in harmony with the landscape energy of the place. An invisible (to humans) blanket of energy was dropped upon the city. This weaving then worked to reestablish strong links with local energy lines or ley lines to get them to work and function better or more properly than before.

The snake said that these blankets were to help keep the energy lines (etheric body) of Mother Earth working. She said when a bulldozer pushed earth or dynamite blew up rocks, it created disharmony and broken energy lines in that area. A rainbow blanket was then brought and placed over the area so it could heal and the lines be rewoven so that they worked. I was enthralled with this. I told the snake that it looked more like rainbow colored Band-Aids or a dressing being put on a wound that was created by humans that had wrecked the energy in a part of Mom Earth. The snake agreed. She said it was like an energy dressing. The most important part of manufacturing these ‘blankets’ here was to always maintain health of this energy grid.

I watched as twenty or so of the rugs had been created in this valley and then floated upward. Each time, a baby rainbow snake (see Grandmother Bell rock episode for more detail about the baby rainbow snakes) would take it and disappear into the ethers with a blanket in its mouth. The snake said that each of her children would take the blanket to the region that had been disrupted energetically and they would remain there to work with the blanket and the local situation to reverse it and make it harmonious once more.

I thought: This is a cosmic Band-Aid factory! The whole valley with the use of the finger-like extension coming from Mund’s Mountains with our side, was a giant weaving machine. It just boggled my mine. I asked the snake if there were other places around the world where this was done. She said yes, one on every continent. In Africa, it is a table top mountain near Cape Town. In England, it is southwestern England in the Glastonbury – Avebury Circle area. In Europe, it is a group of mountains located in Switzerland and the Rhine Valley. For the far east, it is the all of Tibet and the Himalayan mountains that are there. In South America, it is a huge region of the Andes mountains that extends around Machu Pichu in Peru.

I asked her if these rainbow blankets were ever used on a group of people or an individual. No, she said, her work is only with the Earth, for she is charged with keeping it healthy and functioning. And for example, the holes at the poles, she said they continue to put blankets there all the time but what humankind is doing to the planet is warring against what they can do and it’s just slowing the process but not reversing it.

After coming out of my altered state, I told everything to Marty. She had picked up on many of the same items and I’ll let her share that with you in her report. We then used the rattle (I forgot and left my beloved Tibetan drum at home and was horrified when I’d not brought it) and Marty used her double flute. But, Marty said that Grandmother Komwida in this area, had used a rattle, so it was very appropriate after all! I was relieved. Besides, bats live in there and a drum would send a lot of disturbing vibrations down it and that wouldn’t be good. So, it was good that my drum was left at home.

We then gave offerings, rattled and fluted and then sang songs in front of Komwida’s Kitchen. It felt really good. We then hiked back to the car, stopped and ate a late lunch and discussed the weaving energy of that valley that was going on. Just a stunning and amazing thing. I’d never, in all my travels, ever come upon such a thing. The joy of working with local energy is you find out, over time, what is really going on. Layer by layer, it can be lifted, examined and understood to a certain level.

This is another Cedar tree near the sinkhole and very close to where we sat. You can see the twisted pattern once more–not to mention how beautiful it is, anyway!

Nicholas Mann spent a lot of time looking, observing and being in touch with the spirits and energy of the Sedona area. He did an incredible job of realizing the first template. Now, Marty and I have been chosen by the Rainbow Snake to take it deeper in understanding and execution of what is going on. Layer by layer. That is how it goes. I’m sure there will be another person or team who will come in and walk the same trails Nicholas and we have, and discover yet, another layer to this amazing energy place that was not revealed to any of us. Each contributes what they are allowed to know and see and to give it out to the world at that time. As we expand and evolutionize upward, we get to peek under a new layer to appreciate and understand what is really happening in the unseen of where we live.

Marty and I agreed that the balloons–wombs symbolically, were a part of today’s journey. The surveying crew certainly was a clue to what we did: survey the area and buy topo maps. Driving to pick up Marty is always interesting because that’s when they begin to talk to me in symbolic language. And we also agreed that something wonderful will happen once we get all these chakras worked with, sang too, and ceremony given on their behalf from our hearts. I don’t know what will happen, I only know it will. You can’t work steadily and consistently with energy like this and not have it respond in a huge way that everyone will see.

I finally figured out the symbol in the heart that was drawn on the rock that was trying to tell us that Komida’s Kitchen was nearby. It was a SPINDLE!! Check it out. It’s long and oblong and if you’ve ever seen a loom spindle–there it is. So, someone else knows about what is going on here and can see it as well as we do–and left a symbolic map for us. The heart is about the love that we felt emanating from all of this area. And the box and geometric shapes reminded me of Bololokan showing me the skein of yarn that she did a figure eight on at the beginning of the trail–here it was again.

Doesn’t this make you want to go out and check out your own back yard? We hope so! Go buy a topo map from your local forest service. Find out what is there. Look at it. Is there any form or shape that reminds you of a symbol? An animal? What? If you don’t make the effort you won’t know.

Her I am with our stash of USGS topo maps of the entire Sedona area. Half will be mine and the other half to Marty. We intend to “look” at these topos for other figures or symbols (such as the hummingbird in the Wilson Mountain topo map photo at the start of this blog) and see what we can find, if anything. This is a ‘tool’ I use when walking the land if the topo is available. I first look for the highest hills, buttes, or mountains. Energy always follows that in some way. Then, in our case, we have THREE sinkholes and THREE arches in the Sedona area. We’ve looked at these in a cursory fashion on the topo maps and found that in both instances, they form a TRIANGLE to one another. So, there’s a lot of other things going on here that need to be looked at, understood and then researched. Finally, after making a lot of copies, I use a ruler and a red pen and go from one point to another. I find ‘patterns’ this way as well based upon my criteria I’ve noted above. And of course, we are looking (especially) for any symbols or animals created by the natural geological landscape of the area. Stay tuned!

Marty and I have eight different topo maps. And we’re going to be looking at them with new eyes. We’ll be looking first, for figures, symbols or things that make sense for the area. I found the hummingbird. Marty has already found Bololokan! So, have fun in your area!
