La Cieneguilla Petroglyphs Site.
KW here. So we are walking up to the rocks that have the petroglyphs, when Mrs Tour guide says, Oh look at that beautiful flower. As the Tour guide turns to look, in a very low voice he says, STOP, THERE IS A RATTLE SNAKE. Now being the brave guy I am, I stay in the bag to protect AC and LH, while the Tour guide stops to take a picture. We calmly walk on by to hunt for the glyphs.
Mrs. Tour guide walking up rocky trail.
Tour guide just runs up the rocks. Mrs Tour guide says he is brave. I think he is just crazy.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and fellow WB cartoon characters, sit back and enjoy the Petroglyphs. Mrs. Tour guide has a book that tells what they mean. Maybe we can get her to share that information one day.
Hiking the trail.
Hey Tour guide, how did you get down so fast?
Hey Tour guide how do we get back to the jeep? KW, why don't you scout ahead and let us know how. Ok Tour Guide, hope I don't get lost. KW, just walk down the path. He Tour guide I found a heap of stones pointing the way back, at least I think. KW, that is called a "Carin".
TTFN:
PS:
Carins
The word comes from the Gaelic for "heap of stones" and many can be quite beautiful. Carins can be good things when they are done right. Properly built they help mark trails to keep hikers from getting lost and can endure for decades.
Petroglyphs
Petroglyphs are images created by removing part of a rock surface by incising, picking, carving, or abrading, as a form of rock art. Outside of North America, scholars often use terms such as "carving", "engraving", or other descriptions of the technique to refer to such images.
