Looking for Petroglyphs II






Today, Monday, I woke up, got ready for our day and went over to the Interpretive office ( known simply as Interp) to pick up the radio we carry when we are driving around. It is then that I discovered that everywhere else except Arizona, I would be changing all my clocks, watches, etc. The visitor center has four clocks on the wall. They read; Arizona Time, California Time, Navajo Time, and New Mexico Time which right now are 7:36 pm , 7:36pm, 8:36pm, & 8:36pm respectively. The "Rez" observes daylight savings time. The rest of Arizona , including the Hopi reservation (which is in the middle of the Navajo reservation) stays the same all year. confusing enough?
Moving on with the story, after our Puerco program we walked across the street and down a gravel road to an area that we thought looked like a good spot for petroglyphs. After walking less than 10 mintures we were rewarded with some nice ones. Ten more minutes and many more appeared. We decided that this will be the place we will bring visitors when we do our archeology walks this month. It will be fun to take people into areas that they normally would not get to go. Take a look are these and see if you would like to come on our walk!
