This is Colonia Corrales where Grandpa Martineau had his Saw Mill. Our lumber home was just behind where the fence is....about half way between the fence and the hill. There is a spring a couple of blocks away on the hillside to the right. Grandpa Martineau got some pipe and piped water from the spring into the house so we had running water in our home. It was in this home that Bill was born while all the kids were sent away to go swimming at the "Ledges". He weighed about 10 pounds. (Grandma Martineau was only 4 ft 10 in. ) I don't know how she could have that big a baby. I am certain that they put the fence up so that people would not trample on this sacred place.
