It all depends on what kid of rock and where they did it. <br /><br />Lovkyne - One of them looks like a flying saucer.

I think the public should have better access to some of these places, but until the mechanism for doing that is figured out, I will remain silent about locations.<br /><br />EG CameraGirl - I totally agree with you, the rest of the stuff is a bonus. As to the part about vandalism, I'm on the fence. Sometimes, I think the secrecy of a place can also contribute to vandalism. It's a slippery slope, that's for sure. <br /><br />Rosemary Nickerson - It does look like a horse and rider, but that is just some of the surface sloughing off of the rock. Pretty strange though. Yep, plenty of blue skies in the desert. <br /><br />Stickup Artist - I totally agree with you! It is a magical place. I felt it as a child and I still feel it today.

Some outside help is also a good thing (when it's available). There are very few people who know about these places and none of them are talking.<br /><br />TexWisGirl - Thanks Theresa! Yep, the shelter was the best of the day. It just oozed (in a symbolic way) with history.<br /><br />PerthDailyPhoto - Oh yeah! You do not want to become food out there. You guys have some rocks that just don't exist anywhere else. My pleasure and thanks to you as well.<br /><br />Sylvia K - Thank you so much Sylvia!
