What was the reason behind not canning,,,,
 
I believe the items were flour, pasta, and similar.  What was the reason 
behind it?
Thanks

that is nothing in geological time, but yes, the plates did shift.  Part of 
the
system is under Idaho.  The caldera is huge...even if the plates moved 50 
miles,
it would still be over the caldera.

I.E. the way the plates have shifted forming a string of islands spreading out
from one particular volcanic "hot spot".

I enjoyed looking at the pictures-both yours and Sage's.  I love looking
at other homesteader's land-it always gives me an appreciation for the
challenges others face.  The Ozark landscape is so very similar to my
own and the desert landscape seems so 'other worldly' to me.  Both
fascinating and beautiful in their own right.
A few comments:
The plant you found (the second one on the page) is downy rattlesnake
plantain or rattlesnake plantain or something very close to it-it is
actually in the orchid family.
http://www.ct-botanical-society.org/galleries/goodyerapube.html
http://2bnthewild.com/plants/H237.htm

That second link has medicinal info on it, and as you might guess, it
was once used for snakebite, among other things.

The bear claw rock...
When I first saw it, I thought it looked like a petrified or fossilized
frog/toad.  I searched frog rock and found a site that is probably bogus
but that talked about frogs being found inside flint geodes. I know
there are geodes there in the Ozarks, but I'd have trouble with that<g>.
  What makes sense to me is that from looking at your other pictures,
your area was underwater-a shallow sea, at one time.  You can actually
see the sedimentary layers in your fairy waterfall...I know there are
probably a number of caves there as well.  Our landscapes and geology
are similar, so I am extrapolating here...  You mentioned coral a while
back, and there is also coral and other fossils here on my land.  Is it
possible that a frog or toad, estivating in the mud, died in an
exceptionally hard freeze, and over time, became 'rock' through
mineralization/fossilization?

Beautiful GP, by the way, and Badger is a great name...for the badger
markings?  I think it is a good thing that he was with you...
Ponder this..
You wrote that a lot of animals seem to go to this place to die.  A few
lines later, you are talking about bears..noting that there was poop
around...lol..
You do realize that some bears drag their kills or carcass finds back to
their 'home' to eat them?  Perhaps you stumbled upon a bear cafeteria?
Keep Badger close....lol..

As to fire starters, I see you have found lint...here is another,
something I do every year.
Collect pine cones and place them in a 5 gallon bucket or a small trash
can-something tall and roughly cylindrical.  Of course, you save the
remnants of old candles, just like you save the remnants of bars of
soap, so you have some expendable candle wax, right?
Melt the old candle and drizzle the wax over the pine cones.  Jostle and
shake the bucket of cones to make sure the wax is spread out over all
the cones.  You don't need a lot of wax, only a small portion of the
cone should be waxed-maybe 1-2 TBSP of wax per cone, if that.  If you
get too much, you will accrue wax inside your woodstove, and it takes a
really hot fire to consume it all, so a little dab will do you.<g>
So when it is dry outside, go out to where ever you split your wood and
grab some kindling wood or bark and of course you have your pine
cone..easy starting...
