Spear Point found in E. Dubuque, IL

The picture above is a spear point that I found recently in our back yard. Very cool!!!

Wisconsin has some very interesting and mysterious Native American sites worth visiting so this summer I will be exploring many of these areas in my spare time and will probably not be posting regularly to this blog. Plus, I am getting the urge once again to do some serious hiking and rock climbing and now is as good a time as any!

Shani Ready to Go! E. Dubuque, IL 2006

Sadly, Shani passed away quite unexpectedly a few months after this was taken. She was my best friend and was quite the intrepid traveler!

One place I'm going to explore very soon is Aztalan State Park which, aside from the effigy mounds and structures, has some very fascinating underwater pyramids in Rock Lake.
I'd also like to explore the Brown Lake area in Burlington, Wisconsin which was formally known as the "Lake of the Shining Arrows". It is thought that the lake was so named due to the UFO activity observed by the ancient inhabitants of the area.

I would also like to make my way back to California to explore the lands of the Hav-musuv and the Panamint mountains.

Panamint Mountains - Death Valley, CA

The following is an excerpt about the Hav-musuv from the article TRIBAL MEMORIES OF THE FLYING SAUCERS, which appeared in the Sept. 1949 issue of FATE magazine:

"These strange people have weapons. One is a small tube which stuns one with a prickly feeling like a rain of cactus needles. One cannot move for hours, and during this time the mysterious ones vanish up the cliffs. The other weapon is deadly. It is a long, silvery tube. When this is pointed at you, death follows immediately."

and

"When the Hav-musuvs could no longer use their great rowing-ships, they began to think of other means to reach the world beyond. I suppose that is how it happened. We know that they began to use flying canoes. At first they were not large, these silvery ships with wings. They moved with a slight whirring sound, and a dipping movement, like an eagle."

Of course, this is also where large boulders mysteriously glide across the desert floor of their own accord.
