Farther down the river a pathway was worn into the sandstone where countless bare and moccasined feet had toiled, and climbed over the sloping wall to the mesa above. The ruins in this section were not extensive, like those found in the tributary canyons of the San Juan River, for instance, not a very great distance from here.
The square wooden tavern stood at the cross-roads. The light from the door made a pathway through the darkness, up which Susannah walked. When she entered, the heat and fumes from fire, candles, tobacco-pipes, and steaming mugs met her.
These are the "Two Briggs of Ayr," whose midnight conversation was overheard by Burns, while other auditors were aware only of the rush and rumble of the wintry stream among the arches.
