Death Valley 2022/23

[Beardilocks]

Here is a cool rock.  Lol.  I actually hiked out multiple times looking for this one and it's brethren.  Actually just one that I know of that I really wanted to find.  But its brethren remain hidden from me.  Needles in a pile of needles.   Just rocks in a wash.  

Hunt lists a "map stone" at this location.  I'm not sure if it was this one or the one I couldn't find.  I would like to make a study of all the "map stones" in DV, noting cardinal direction, direction of nearest spring, etc etc and try to see if any symbols repeat or are similar.  Do they only work for one direction of travel?  Or would the site of the "map" be central to the design, showing the directions to more than one thing from that location?  I have not heard of anyone doing anything similar.  But there may not be enough such stone surviving for that to be feasible.  











 Tried running it through DStretch, which I have never done with petroglyphs.  Surprisingly useful.  




Only other glyph I saw:  A single moccasin on the side of a rock.  There may have been more but the rest of the rock is poorly preserved.
