They followed the critters. and learned from them
critters know.

People, for all our smart stuff, have skipped out on some amazing stuff that has been deemed “simple”.

I was always called simple as a boy…. I just smile and say Thank You ma’am!

Mid 1968 (May), C Company, 1/327 IN, 101 Airborne, discovered Large number of hidden bunkers containing thousands of round of small arms Ammo and artillery rounds up a small canyon just outside A Shau Valley. The next day, after we made our way to the floor of the Rao Nho river valley, we discovered two field pieces, and 33 trucks all buried next to the river.
An amazing engineering feat, the NVA, had been using the river (a large creek at this point) as a road, moving large boulders out of the stream and driving right up the river. When our prepping artillery and bombing told them a large push was coming they both buried all of the rolling stock, and transshipped all the Ammo up into the hills nearby.
every truck was put into a large hole up to the top of the bed, then covered.
we dug several of them out, and pushed them into an area cleared by artillery, and lifted two trucks and both guns out.
We burned the rest.

I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.

You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. -- I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. -- Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not.

-Samuel Adams to Abigail Adams July 3, 1776

I bet $50 against a donut hole that the native peoples knew more about and were more accurate in predicting weather changes than these modern weather entertainers and prognosticators are.

Awhile back I was talking to a guy who had been on a job in Northway, AK. One day after work he was walking along a lake and met an old Native dude who asked him what he was doing. He said "Just watching the geese." Native dude shook his head and said "Don't watch the geese, they don't know anything. Watch the swans, when they leave it's two days till winter." A week or two later the swans left and sure enough 48 hours later there was snow on the ground.
