Petroglyphs

Yesterday, Saturday a couple of friends and I took a trip out the some Petroglyphs not far from here. What we found were a lot of them were missing. Yes missing,, someone has removed a large portion of them either just for the hell of it or to add to collections. However we did manage to find some with a lot of climbing around up high. We were just a tad over 5000 ft which in this area is only a 1000 ft above Deming. Here are a few pictures and you can make up your own mind. Some are fake and some are not.

Some grinding holes.

Time to post something. 6/19/2009

Back at the Blog again, at least temporarily. I made the big move today from Rockhound State Parkt to City of Rocks State Park. A grand total of 43.5 miles. Long Day. I had outlasted my stay of 21 days at Rockhound so had to move.

 

OOP’s. Guess I did not get them that day so I did today 6/21/09. This is the road into the park. The park is the rocks in the background.
