| no partners | | The roads on Perry Mesa seemed a little bumpier than usual and were frozen hard in the morning.
I intended to walk some mesa edge with a hope of seeing new things as well as pass a few impressive petroglyphs I'd seen before. I was lucky to notice a couple "free range" petroglyphs on boulders as I walked from the road to the edge and a small overgrown ruin overlooking the side canyon.
My plan was to mainly walk below the cliff band since my old track showed I was mostly on the (easy) top when last here about 10 years ago. Expectations were fairly low since I'd concluded then that this section didn't have a lot of petroglyphs.
It went about as expected: I found a few new things that I probably couldn't have seen from the top. I was reminded that walking is slow and rough below the cliff band so some of the time I bailed even lower to look at scattered boulders on smoother ground, and then back on top where it's even easier. Eventually I got to a familiar "good area" with a number of impressive glyphs and decided to end it there - short of my goal but far enough. Plenty warm enough by early afternoon.
