| no partners | | Randall's careful description is still correct today and this trip requires some advanced planning since an in-person permit is needed. I was invited to come along by a couple of serious petroglyph people so I went to Ajo Friday afternoon and got my permit.
I took advantage of the Ajo dark skies to try out "star mode" on my camera - not bad for a point and shoot.
Saturday AM we took two cars in on the rough road. No big problem for the Subaru, but it does get rocky and rough the last couple miles.
The petroglyphs cover a large area, and there are a lot of them. They seem to be old ones showing mainly geometric figures, not many people or animals. But they're well preserved so fun to look at - I took about 180 glyph pictures.
Not clear to me why this spot was so popular for the artist/story tellers. No doubt it is along some ancient path over the pass but it's well below the pass and certainly seemed dry there these days - maybe there was water there a thousand years ago.
Good day with partners who really enjoyed being there. |
