Rocks and Petroglyph

high enough for you?








After I got off work today we headed for the hills with friends Dale and Shirley and Ben and Barb from the park. We ended up 9 miles into BLM land at the local petrogliphs. It took us a while to get there because we had to stop several places to hunt for good rocks. We weren't in agate country but managed to find several keepers with potential. The rocks around the petrogliphs was mainly picture sandstone, so called because the way the sandstone layers sometimes looks like pictures. We hunted and looked at petrogliphs and visited and whiled the afternoon away in the beautiful sunny dry desert. Around sunset we headed home. On the way we decided to stop for supper. Ben and Barb had gone ahead, but Dale and Shirley decided to join us. Much good food and conversation later we finally got home. Duane went to the house and I stopped at the clubhouse for a fast game of Mexican Train (dominoes) before I gave up for the evening.
Enough for now,
Louise and Duane
