Six years/4 hikes later, I finally found the panel described in, https://aahs1916.org/2013/01/janine-her ... r-imagery/ . On YouTube the panel is described as a sun.
About 3 years ago I came within 50-75 yards of the site but turned the wrong way...oh well.

This weekend did some hiking in the Rainbow Forest Wilderness in the Session III area(Petrified Forest National Park). Lots of sites but I focused on a few petroglyph sites. Site 501, 509, 505, 506 and 275.

The area I hiked in was flat and at times looked like a moonscape. It was still very beautiful. Especially in the areas where there was alot of petrified wood flakes.

I think I have to go back again because site 275 was suppose to be a large site with a ruin and 35 panels. I know I didn’t find the ruin and I am sure I missed some of the panels.

Always a fun adventure when exploring PFNP. I had some intel on a site on the westside of the park.

This site had everything. I was surprise by the quality and size of the pottery sherds. The site I hit was a petroglyph site and two habitat sites. I think there is one more petroglyph site in the area but I am coming off a knee injury and did not want to scramble around the side of the mesa.

I wanted to share some photos I took in the last two weeks. Could not think of a name for the photoset so....., Generic Name.

I'm told the rock is Fuchs Rock.

One website says 1 in 10,000 saguaros are crested. Another website says, "Crested saguaros occur in less than one of every 200,000 saguaros." Let's just say they are rare. They are always a nice surprise to find.

As for that snake, my hiking buddy said he thought it was dead. So I hit his tail with my pole. He jumped towards me :o . Yes I was scared for a moment. That snake really jumped out far.

New Water Mountain Petroglyph Site revisited. Went to the site last year ( [ photoset ] ) with Hansenaz( [ photoset ] ). This year went out with some friends from California, one of them was a retired archaeologist.

On my last trip with Hansenaz, we hiked mostly on the east bank of the wash. We found most of the petroglyphs low on the hillside and along the wash. This trip I wanted to stay high, explore the westside of the wash, and try to hike further down the wash to see what I could find.

Found a few nice panels higher up on the hills. On the first trip we had so much success finding petroglyphs that I don’t think we needed to go high. But on this trip I let my friends find the low hanging fruit along the east bank of the wash, while I looked around at some new spots. I did not find much more walking south along wash. Just a few here and there. I turned around and decide to walk the westside of wash across from the petroglyph clusters. As I returned my friend asked me on the radio if I had found a boulder with cupules before. NO! Dang, how did Hansenaz miss this on our last trip! Last time I’m taking him.

The westside of wash did not have a lot of big petroglyph panels or even large single element petroglyphs. But it was obvious the ancients did some living on the westside of the wash. a retired archaeologist from California joined the hike. He found a Mano/ pestle on the westside. What I learned was that the manos would get peck from time to time so make them rough again. If the Mano was to smooth the food material would not get caught on the edge or under the Mano to get ground. The Mano we found was well polished but in the center were pecked areas. The pestle portion of the Mano/pestle was super polished and getting rounded.
