"Billy B." and "Mechanical Cows"

I'v added a photo of the "Point" so this will make more sense. Here's a little history about the "Point." What ever "Tribe" was in control of most of central Arizona, would of had to control this point, just like the modern Army's of today, the high ground. You can still see the old "Indian" trials running up the side of the canyon walls, like a view into past history, cool. Also the path used for first power lines used in Arizona from "Child's", to "Prescott". For some reason Bill Clinton in last days in office, declared the "Point" and a small area around it a National Preserve", so it would aways be safe. It really pissed off the governor, but the deed was done. It really didn't make sense, because their really isn't any real history, no ruins, no hieroglyphs, just the "Point". I've been going up there for almost 40 years now, twice on trips with family, 30 years ago, our vehicle filled up with "Blue Lights", the last one was reported in the news paper, said it had to do with the granite rocks. My UFO photo is from the "Point", taken by someone else with my camera. I took that photo to some guys from "MUFON", they wanted to know .where photo was taken, I told them, they answered, that's a hot area for UFOs. Every so many years, I have to go up to get the dirt off me. Friends say lets go up to the "Point", few ever do, it can just be scary at night. All the years I"ve camped their I've never seen another camper. "Billy B", bit and we went camping at the "Point". It is one hell of a four wheel drive road, it takes about 2 hours to go the last 5 miles, so bad you think it will be better off walking besides the truck, not at all, no flat land, like an old "Mayan" prayer. Billy B. and me get to the top at the "Point", sit up camp and head out to the "Point" with cameras and water. It is just straight down, when walk around the rock, some have to do like one of my sons call it, butt climbing. After taking photos and talking for a while we head back to the camp site, all of a sudden this increable screaching sound in the air twice, right over our heads!! "Billy B." looks at me, I mean just pale looking, eyes wide open, what was that, I said, the "Boys" saying hello. "Billy B", started back to the camp site in a run, I just started laughing. Now while I'm still heading back to camp, "Billy B", comes running past me, towards the "East", "Billy" B." has this big old gun stuck in his belt loop, where you going "Billy B", "Billy B" sayes, he's going to find out what that noise was, we heard. Didn't hear from "Billy B", for about 5 hours, figured he was lost, but had gun and matches, the sun was going down. Went out to look towards the "East" for "Billy B" one last time before dark, here comes "Billy B" down the road from the "East" with a big old "Juniper" trunk, asked what it was, "Billy B", sayes, "Cows", I said what "Mechanical Cows"! bye#17
