In the fall of 2009 Jamie following a lead from cowboy to create a place for guest to deposit the Various stones found on their adventures created a Medicine wheel at the Barkochba inspired by the TV series Into the West  and the Bighorn Medicine Wheel On top of the Bighorn Range in Wyoming.  He set about  to use various sources of information  including  Mark Dodich’s  illustration  on Astromark. Little is really Known about the use of the Medicine wheel however ours was created with reverence and care to establish a  permanent tribute to the Native American Spirit.  Various sources show this Image including this one at http://spirithouse.yolasite.com/blog-posts/medicine-wheels I am Unsure who to give credit for this Image Guide.

We hope to replace stones with found rocks that may hold more resemblance to what they represent. as Guest find them.
