Native American Tribe Series

Salinan

 

A linguistic stock of California, the lived along the Salinas River, in what is today, San Luis Obispo, Monterey, and perhaps San Benito Counties. Little is known about them or their bands. Their language was very irregular and more complex than most languages of California. They appeared to have lived in houses of brush or grass. Not having canoes, the subsided more on hunting than fishing, supplemented with plant foods such as acorns and grass seed. The missions of San Antonio and San Miguel were established in Salinan territory in 1771 and 1797, where some 6,800 were baptized, though this number appears to have also included Yokut Indians. Like all the other tribes, the Salinan Indians decreased rapidly during mission times, the number, at each mission having fallen to fewer than 700 by 1831, and then even more rapidly. By the early 1900's they numbered only about 20 people, living near Jolon, California.

There was a nice block. And a pretty stone which would cover a cache if there had been a cache there. Oh well. 2 DNF’s for the day is not bad.

Put some miles on while caching today! I started out in Parker for the event, some lab caches, and working on my 360 degrees of Colorado challenge. Peace love pi was going to join me, but felt a little under the weather. I wound up meeting her a little north of here to visit a cache on its birthday, and we wound up in Brighton. We didn't have a lot of time, so we picked this power trail nearby. I didn't realize it, but we hit about 26 caches in an hour and a half. We replaced logs and containers as needed. Signed logs with the Pi symbol and a paw, and not always at the end of the line. What can I say? I was a little messy today. Sorry for the cut and paste logs mondou2, but I didn't take good notes. Thanks for the smiley! Find #3362.

I didn't even read the hint for this one, so I spent a few seconds searching the wrong beacon before noticing the correct one; good job and TFTC!
