Last Weekend of May and Some Pictographs

...and it's a dreary one here! Hard to believe summer is less than a month away with this unseasonably cool and wet weather. Theoretically we should see sun today - we'll see...I miss it!

Last week's trip to UT and CO - flying into Salt Lake City, visiting nine project sites, in places like Vernal UT, Grand Junction, Paonia, and Breckenridge CO, along the Green, Colorado, and Blue Rivers (among others), was time well spent. We even got to sight see a little bit on our way through at a place called Canyon Pintado National Historic District on Highway 64 out of Rangley CO.

We stopped at four of the sites along the route:

East Four mile Site … mile post 61.3

Yes that is a bullet hole above the pictographs!

See the horse?

Canyon Pintado Site … mile post 56.0Those of you who know me, know that Kokopelli is one of my favorite, if not THE favorite, mythological creature!

Waving Hands Site … mile post 53.5

Carrot Man Site … mile post 11.6

This demonish-looking fellow is called the Guardian - don't know why...

These stops were a nice break along the drive - this is definitely somewhere I want to explore more in-depth when I can get back to this neck of the woods on some personal time!

I think that's enough for this posting - will probably post again tomorrow on writing - am still cogitating on that one!
