13 Apr 2004 Sweat Lodge Wood Piles

13 Apr 2004 Sweat Lodge Wood Piles ~ I do not recall when the last sweat was held in the old sweat lodge area.  I will sort through my photos and see if I can figure that out.  It wasn’t too much previous to my taking this sequence of photos.  The fire pit and wood piles are fresh enough to imagine that perhaps it was in 2003.

13 Apr 2004 Sweat Lodge Fire Pit Stones

13 Apr 2004 Sweat Lodge Fire Pit Stones ~ There are a number of fire pits on the land at Circle Sanctuary.  This fire pit is at the old sweat lodge area, which is right next to the creek and the large cottonwood trees.  This was the second location for sweats at Circle.  This location is now retired and a new sweat lodge area is being located in Hickory Grove.
