Big Hand-Carved Indian Head

Go in winter or spring when it isn't too hot. Checked it out in January with temp of 75 degrees and it was perfect. Visiting during summer may be a bit uncomfortable. Oh, and watch out for rattlesnakes! Cabot Yerxa led a life of adventure, and obviously couldn't sit with 2 knees together. If you are in the area, stop and check it out. Recommend highly as a very interesting tour.

Big Hand-Carved Indian Head

This is a little addition to the Cabot Pueblo Museum. Come for the Indian head but check out the house.
