Cochia Cocina
As I have said this is NOT about good photography. This object on the hill, we were told, is an ancient Cochia indian kitchen. It is up on a hill that overlooks the entire Cochella Valley. The purpose? So the the women could warn the men of anyone coming into the valley as well as alert the village below as to approaching storms.
Our guide, a tough broad with a butt length braid, didn't even have to climb the hill to predict the weather that arrived today.
