A search for ancient art

A big bird is on one of those walls. "You'll walk right to it; you can't miss it," said the neighbor who checked on us. Nice encouragement--but we weren't able to pick out the pictograph or petroglyph. Marilyn, Susan and I enjoyed climbing through the rocks and prickly bushes to search the places where ancients scratched their images.

It was a chilly day, with scattered snow on the ground from Monday's Autumn first snow-fall. A cool breeze called for hats, scarves, gloves, and jackets. Thanks to these two ladies for their good natures, eager searching, and obvious enjoyment of the interesting venture.

Fall is here, so shift your planning to warm clothes and come with us next Tuesday. We'll hike 4-5 miles, weather permitting. Meet at the
South Fork Interpretive Center in the center of town. We'll leave there at 9 a.m.

Dog Mtn natural rock art--it teased us from afar, but seems to be drawn by water and lichens.
