I didn't figure I could spell hyroglyphics or whatever they are. Anyway, a trapping find.

Those are awesome, Cal. Don't you wish you knew what they meant and when they were done....and who did them?
Good hunting. LB
edit: I think they are actually called, "petroglyphs" ?

I think that was the original Huntmasters site. The best I could cipher there was comment about Rich's howling.
Also a question about the best Coyote spear.
Great find Cal. Had to give you a few Goose pumps.

You guessed it Rob, Trapping the rock piles. On a side note, all the indians in the pictures have either a spear or an arrow sticking in them. I suppose it was a battle? And another thing, when they made them they either had a ladder, sat on each others shoulders, or were some tall fellers, because some of them are way taller than I can reach. And the space alien looking one that you you have to click on does give me the creeps.

Cal, all three of them look like aliens. The first one shows an alien in a metallic frock with a space craft to the left of it. The second one shows an alien figure and the one I had to click on shows an alien in a round transparent helmet.
You're messing with us aren't you, Cal?
You pulled those off an X-Files site, didn't you? ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Here's a couple pics of the ones I found last weekend, just pulled quick and dirty off video. They have been vandalized, and the cliff has sluffed off too. Not nearly the best ones I've seen, but always kind of neat to stumble across them.

Nice pics Cal and Dave. That stuff has always interested me.
I'd love to know what the heck the petroglyphs mean and why they were made?

Wow, those are colorful and complex. We see lots of petroglyphs here in Az. The majority are rudimentory outlines scratched into the rock, no color.

Cal,
As time goes by cliffs tend to get "taller".
Rain running down, and wind being forced against the rock tends to erode the base away.
One of the climbing areas I use has gotten 15 feet taller, just in the 10 yrs I have been visiting it. Climbers and hikers tend to speed the process considerably.
I would not let anyone "official" know they are there, "pets" can close up an area, to use, faster than an edangered species.

I have found a few similar things in Oklahoma. I always thought the Indians were documenting a visit they had from some other life form. Maybe in this case, the Indians went out to confront the trespassers and a battle ensued. Of course, I'm one that believes in things like that.
Cool find Calvin. Are you going to notify any experts?

You are the only one I'm going to notify, Brad.
Actually as a courtesy to the landowner, I'm not saying nothin to nobody. He knew where they were, and thats good enough. There had been some vandalism. Someone carved their initials there, and dated it. 1837. Probably another damn cat trapper.
