I know it's in the name of science but I hope in a few thousand years no person is digging up my grave just to check out my stuff.

Why not? I believe this is on a military installation now. Utah is full of 5, 9, 12 mile canyons. Too many to count. If I am thinking of the right place it is half way between Salt Lake and Nevada, in the West Deseret.

I suspect it is the one just east of Wellington.  With all the petroglyphs, it's a really cool place.  Josh

^^ yep.

i like how he bundled the 3-pack of spare foreshafts for his darts (two items on far right).

i think that swatch of leather on the end of the dart creates instrumental in-flight drag.

i'm also guessing those things on the bottom left are his knapping shoes. i like the insoles ;)
