River House Ruins

These ruins were close to the Comb ridge road, by the river. There were more ruins nearby that still had pottery in them, but we could not find it.

Last hill of Hole in the Rock Expedition

Well weather has finally settled down enough to take another southern Utah Trip. (May 1 2010) We had so much fun! Here are some pictures of the Road that the Hole in the Rock Expedition made up over Comb wash. This is the last hill that they had to go over 6 months into the trip that was supposed to take 6 weeks. So much for short cuts!! Some of the animals finally gave up and died over this hill. They had to have 6-7 horse teams hitched up per wagon. That means lots of the teams did it over and over.
In one picture Ivan is standing by the road. They cut out one side, and used the fill to fill up the other side.





This is a picture towards the river from the road. The River House Ruins (next post) that we went to are along the river to the left. If you look at the rock in the foreground you can see scrape marks from the road construction.
