Ever since I have moved here, I have wanted to go see the Paint Rock Pictographs. I finally got a chance to yesterday.
Some local homeschoolers were having a field trip there, so we joined them. I took some of Stephen's younger siblings along as well. It was really neat. Mrs. C was our tour guide and she is a spry 82 years old, as she kept reminding us :). If I remember correctly, her grandfather bought the property the pictographs are on, to keep vandals out. Now she and her husband own, and run the place.

I thought that was interesting, as they used the same paint as war paint. Like maybe they used war paint for more than looking scary. It kept their iron up etc..
I am only posting relatively few pictures. There are a lot of pictographs there. It is really neat.
I have a piece of paper with what they assume the Indians were trying to say with these. But my other arm is falling asleep with a sleeping baby on it. So I'll not put them on here right now.
And one for Annie. :)

How fun! That would be really interesting to see . . . I remember when we visited Arizona once seeing pictographs, and it was fascinating! Thank you for sharing!
