Death Valley 2022/23

[Beardilocks]

Next I took a trip to see if I could find some petroglyphs.

Rock circle along the trail.  Likely a deadfall trap.


Very nice trail on a very lovely evening.


Really killer panel.  Interesting finger placement on the "hands".  And the lines connecting the hand on the left to the other glyph.


The top is extremely interesting.  A map?  Is that a human figure?  And a lake or a river.  Fascinating.


This one was nearby.  A feather?  A footprint?



I just love the style on this one.  Almost monstrous somehow, as if a transformation is taking place.  


Interesting rock pile here.  A bit of a void in the middle.  I can't make out if it's a collapsed cairn, a deadfall trap, or something else.


This is a style I typically have seen further west in NV and UT.  I don't recall tons of others in this style in DEVA.  


Small glyph with some interesting fossils.


This is something I'm starting to see more & more of as I pay close attention.  Deliberate but very small lines alone on rocks.  As yet I have yet to see any kind of a pattern.  They don't point in line with the path or perpendicular to it.  They don't point in the direction of a spring.  But I am seeing them at almost every location and sometimes just completely on their own.



Really awesome glyph on it's own, more or less on the path from this location to the nearest spring.  Map?  Story?  




Interesting use of a natural hole in the rock.


Another small one in the area.  Lots of modern graffiti on this particular rock for some reason.  Not prevalent elsewhere.


Weird clouds.
