Next, you will have to go to the Maidu indian museum in Roseville ca. It is practically in my back yard. There are at least 100 bedrock mortars there. Some harder to find than others. Petroglyphs also!

Dennis, do you have any luck finding points here in Ca? I don't have much luck like everyone back East does. I find more mortar sites than anything.
