Linda and Bill walking down the wash area, every year the sands and gravels change in these washes because of the heavy rains during the summer. Maria pointing out a petroglyph of what looks to be a family. The pictures must have had meant something important at the time, and Steve has said that they all have been where someone could have been in front of a group telling a story, could be so.
There were hundreds of these drawings, and to interpret their meaning, is a little beyond me.
Banners, designs, wavy marks for rivers or waters, or were these made by children, when the adults were out working gathering food? This wash has a damp area close by, and it may have been a water source hundreds or thousands of years ago, and a gathering place for the early people.
This picture needs to be zoomed a little to see all that is happening on it. Rain, an animal, and other designs, anyone's guess.
This flat rock is loaded with swirls and designs and maybe people. The family is on the dark rock upper left.
I can’t help but think that some of these have a profound meaning. Looks to be a snake, animals and people.
After the petroglyph area, we came upon this lizard. It looked interested in us, but didn’t move away. We haven’t seen one like it before, took a few pictures, and left it sunning itself.
