Pueblo people lived here from 1150 to 1550, their main diet was corn and deer. They abandoned the area round 1550 and moved to pueblos by the Rio Grande due to a drought.

This small area could not support 50 people. There are now approximately 40,000,000 people relying on the Colorado River for water, what could go wrong?

How do you tell the difference between Ponderosa and Jeffries Pine? Take a whiff, Ponderosa smells like butterscotch or vanilla. Another way to ID Ponderosa Pines, you will see little Joe or Hoss milling around. Dating myself, our family watched Bonanza every Sunday night. Hoss and the little people was a classic.
