Description
Ok, so it's a bit later than I'd intended - things have been hectic 'round here as of late. Anyway, here's a shot of one of the larger grinding rocks at the park.
It's where the Miwok of the area ground up their acorns and other seeds into meal, eventually ending up with these holes all over the rocks. There's quite a few rocks in the area that have these holes all over them - I forget the statistic I saw while there.
Hoping to get a NYC shot up later tonight. :)
Happy Monday

Cool historical site! Almost like a factory setup! I can see them grinding out acorn cookies just like Keebler Elves!

I've seen a lot of prehistorical and historical hand mills in museums all over Europe (phew... how that sounds... I haven't been everywhere) but I never saw a grinding plant like this. Thank you for sharing this shot! That's most interesting!
