Hohokam Metates (grinding stones) on the grounds give hints and clues to ancient peoples who inhabited this land long before us. 1000 year old pottery shards are scattered about and ancient food plants still occur and grow at the Oasis at Way Out West.
ALL of our "CJ's Desert Dweller" photos (and all wildlife photos that you see on these pages) were shot on the grounds of Way Out West.
