There is more to Bluff than just the Fort. Once the Indian threat was understood to be minimal folks began moving out of the Fort to build more substantial and roomier dwellings. Here is what I saw walking the streets.
I really doubt that there was much of a town here in 650 AD.
Jens had a couple of houses, one for each wife.
This is one of them.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Twin peaks is sacred in Navajo tradition.
They also had some rusty stuff in town.
Tomorrow I'll finish my visit to Bluff with a visit to the cemetery which has been the end of a lot of trips for people in Bluff. I will also be moving tomorrow, but I still don't know where I'll next be enjoying the good life.
Are you a bit jealous that Jens had more than one wife? Paul said he is not...one is way plenty enough for him.
ReplyDeleteOne would have to be pretty tough to cope with two honey do lists.
DeleteWell, your photos and comments about your time in Bluff have been very well received, John. Thank you very much. Now don't hurt yourself trying to decide where to go next. Too much thought might cause bad things to happen inside your head, and we wouldn't want that for you! The Good Life goes on, and it's a state of mind as much as anything. Keep enjoying!
ReplyDeleteThanks Russ and you're right, deep thinking has often caused me pain.
DeleteThese old homes are so awesome. I guess some wives weren't very good and some were very, very good from the looks of the houses.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the photos
Hadn't thought about that being the criteria. Maybe you're right.
DeleteLol, I was going to make the same comment as Jo after I looked at the pictures of the houses!
ReplyDeleteEvidently the lady with the bigger house was VERY GOOD at something :D
I'm speechless.
DeleteTwo houses for two wives. Beats sleeping on the couch because keep both women happy at the same time is humanly impossible... ;c)
ReplyDeleteNot hard to see why this practice eventually lost favor.
