Next up on our tour is a short hike into Hippie Cave. The road leading here is full of mud puddles which were deeper than I liked. The pull off hold one, maybe two cars.
Hippy Cave is a rockhouse with a large overhang, so it can be called a cave.
After Hippy, we drove back on the pot hole road to another small pulloff where we could access Fiddlers Rock.
Fiddlers Rock has some carvings. One of a fiddler. There is also a story of a fiddler named Martin Stone who fiddled atop a rock, first attracting and mesmerizing rattlesnakes, then shooting them. That went on until the snakes killed him. I'm not sure if that is this or another Fiddlers Rock. The story Keith told was a bit different. A local fellow fiddled here because of the acoustics. It became a local hangout as a result.
