That is only a guess but have seen hundreds of those cupules on low tide and all had sea urchins in them. I can't tell by the scale what size the ones in India are but most of the ones I've seen are around 3 to 4 inches in diameter.<BR/><BR/>OregonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-11452638748868500002008-12-17T20:38:00.000-08:002008-12-17T20:38:00.000-08:00Thanks for the recipe Suzy.

It was on private land and I foolishly allowed the directions and the people's names to disappear. I would love to take the kids there again. The day was magic and the rock so full of history (white people's names were cared there from the early 1800's, too) that I felt I was in a cathedral.Kymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04724133309876710731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-24343756914258825152008-12-15T09:12:00.000-08:002008-12-15T09:12:00.000-08:00I did want to do another post about Manzanita, and...I did want to do another <A HREF="http://ernielb.blogspot.com/2008/04/next-wonder.html" REL="nofollow">post about Manzanita,</A> and include the story about the time that my dad had my Grandmother bake him a Manzanita berry pie. Apparently Gramma told him that if he would pick them, and clean them, she would make him a pie. I remember the story from when I was a kid, but I’m the only one that remembers it. I guess it’s because I always wanted to try one. I asked my mother and she doesn’t remember the story. I think she must be hanging out at some of your gigs.<BR/><BR/>Anyway she said that she doesn’t imagine that it was much good. She is good with decisions like that. I probably won’t be able to talk her into making me a pie!<BR/><BR/>I don’t know, but I’ve been told, that Manzanita berries are nutritious, but should only be eaten with other food, because they are very pulpy and will plug you up.

A lot of these sites are well known and hard to hide, most all of the known sites have been vandalized.<BR/><BR/>Some of the rocks that had Indian writing on then were carved on by the pony soldiers. Back in the 1800's it was vandalism. Now it's history. <BR/><BR/>It's like my cousin said the old Indian folks probably got all upset that "Those Damn kids were scratching up the rocks again".Ernie Branscombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391160783604462511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-80241533505637735962008-12-15T08:24:00.000-08:002008-12-15T08:24:00.000-08:00My father found a couple of sites in his years of ...My father found a couple of sites in his years of traversing the backcountry of the South Fork of the Trinity region. Except for showing a Forest Service archelologist, he decided to take the location of the finds to his grave. That was kind of the way my dad was.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
