THE DEVILS RIVER!!!

So we packed our bags for an 8 day trip to Devils River, staying at the Rylander's Ranch, which had very nice accommodations. We went to Mystic shelter for 3 days, where we learned how to do site sketch map, fill out a Tex site form for archaeological survey, as well as recording recording Anthropomorphs. After we finished our day at 2:30 pm, we would cross Devils River and swim in the crystal clear H20. After Mystic Shelter, we hiked to Cedar Springs Rock Shelter and did 2 days of Anthropomorph recording, Surveying, and Photography. Nevertheless, working hard requires playing hard.
During our free time in the evening, Nathan showed us how to make and throw an atlatl and spear, and we would practice hitting charles' antelope target. We also had a mean tournament of Spoons and Washers. Our free day was spent at the river, and catching some sun. Charles also taught Amanda, Ashleigh, and Elyse how to fly fish, while Alex, Nathan, and Isaac were fishing. Ben caught a 9 in small mouth Bass, Nathan caught an 8 in small mouth Bass, and Amanda caught a spotted gar, who she named Henry. However, it wasn't all fishing, as all of us took a group photo jumping off a rock face. Charles and Alex dove 25 feet and touched the bottom.
All in all it was good trip and we learned a lot.
