Indian Grinding Rock State Park
The Scamp's Second Outing
The weather was beautiful - the campsite comfortable
Indian Grinding Rock State Park has the largest acorn grinding site in the country
An Umacha overlooks the grinding rock
Looking out toward the field where the Miwoks played many games
Several of the village Umachas overlook the rock
There are over 200 grinding cups on this rock
Many faint petroglyphs visible at night with a lantern exist on the sloping portions of the rock
A reconstructed Miwok village ajoins the grinding rock area
The favored house was the Umacha built using slabs of bark and poles
A granary used for the storage of acorns
The sweat lodge was the center of ceremonial life - this is probably the largest of its kind in California
