Brief description: Michael Shay is a former elementary and middle school educator. He travels extensively in the Southwest-hiking, studying archaeology, and learning about the people who came before us. Michael's favorite places to hike are the canyons near Bluff, Utah, where this story takes place. There, if you listen carefully while walking on canyon rims, you may hear the voices of the Old Ones or songs from their wooden flutes still lingering in the bone-dry air.
