Next day the young explorers returned with cameras, lights and tracing paper. The more they searched the cave, the more paleolithic art they found. In all, close to 80 drawings were scratched into the rock. Among them were six deer, one complete horse and the heads or bodies of five others, an antelope, three handsome and complete bison, a bull, some mountain goats, and a catlike creature.

Herds of venados, er white-tailed deer, bound over the plains, pursued by hungry pumas; 6-ft. iguanas and huge (up to 4 ft. wide) alligators sun themselves along the river banks.

Indian blankets cover the beds. Changing his clothes, Connally stepped out of his trousers, took off his shirt. "Here is where the bullet came in," he said, pointing to a small pink scar on his right side. "That is where it went out. These scars are where they had the tubes.
