| no partners | | I found the Painted Rock site to be pretty fascinating, in terms of the sheer quantity of glyphs, but the setting was a tad meh. Its just a little too developed for me, but the camping there looked excellent, if that's your thing. By chance, we found some nice glyphs at a place called Rocky Point just down the road. I think I may have enjoyed roaming throughout that area more than the Painted Rocks site. Which I would still recommend to most people to see at least once, especially, if already in the area. Our second objective of the day was some of the Oatman sites, but the farm access road was clearly plowed to deter access and one would have to drive past a sign that says, "not a road" to access it from the other point we tried further down the road. It is evident that someone is taking measures to deter people from driving in the way the description suggests and they have taken notice of the informal road that has developed to skirt the access issues. I think we will just come back sometime and walk in from the second spot we tried to drive in.
A very informative lecture on the site from Archeology Southwest.
