Of course, 

          By nightfall they were among old Anaszi ruins up west of 
          Dolores Valley someplace.

          Canyon of the Ancients National Monument was home to the 
          Anasazi people as early at 7500 B.C. For the past 8500 
          years, the Ancestral Puebloans, nomadic Ute and Navajo 
          tribes have moved in and out of the region. The area was 
          once a spot for villages, field houses, check dams, reservoirs, 
          great kivas, cliff dwellings, shrines, sacred springs, agricultural 
          fields, petroglyphs and sweat lodges. Now the highest density 
          of archeology sites in the United States, the monument was 
          designated a National Monument in June of 2000 by President 
          Clinton. In the 164,000 acres the monument covers, there are 
          20,000 - 30,000 archeology sites. In some places such as the 
          Mockingbird Mesa, there are as many as 40 sites per square 
          mile. Located in the 4 corners area, the park is 28 miles from 
          Mancos, 10 miles north of Cortez, just west of Dolores.

. . . .we've been here before, though the context is rather different. But this 
ties Basnight to Lake in other ways as well:

                    "This tub's been rocking around some," he stopped vomiting 
          long enough to mention.
                    "There say there's some sort of dreadful storm blowing up 
          from the south," Nigel said.
          188

. . . .speaking of the "child of the storm".

Note as well, how Wren mirrors V., Victoria Wren being one of Stencil's 
primary obsessions.

As Basnight figures mightly in Mr. Kindred's ultimate downfall, it's well worth 
tracking down any interconnection twixt the two we encounter.
