The history here is amazing. We always ask each here other how much developers have found and just bulldozed it over. Especially dinosaur findings. Being born and raised in Montana, dinosaur findings always interest me. I'm amazed there was as little graffiti at this site then there was. I hope some old grizzled man living there keeps his eyes open!!

You may be interested in a book called The Edge of Memory byPatrick Nunn, which is about how some of the oral traditions of many first peoples are being found to have a good deal to say about the change of climate at the end of the last ice age.

I will say though, Philadelphia is very protective over their history, so we still have a lot of the original architecture that has simply been restored.<br /><br />The petroglyphs in these photos are AMAZING!

My wife and I have done a fair amount of traveling since we have last been in contact. Honduras, Costa Rica, Maldives, Dubai, and Egypt in the last couple years have broadened our horizon. Egypt was extremely interesting and including a week aboard an Aggressor for a week of diving in the Red Sea the trip was phenomenal. We are headed to Cuba for 12 days during the first part of November. Anyway, I am seriously thinking of getting back to my long suspended blog after summer is over. Stay tuned...and take care my friend!Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676928110297819368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-89161113696901413092018-08-30T14:00:20.703-07:002018-08-30T14:00:20.703-07:00Wow, you must have quite the collection of petrogl...Wow, you must have quite the collection of petroglyphs by now!<br /><br />Also, I already AM that crusty old man you mentioned and I'm not officially old yet. Or a man! :)<br /><br />It's amazing how much stuff we do sacrifice in the name of the expansion of humanity and urban sprawl. I really appreciate little things like people building houses around trees, etc, instead of just chopping them down. Too bad they don't do it for petroglyphs!<br /><br />Excellent post as always.VEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07704685920354554043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-591578183837714422018-08-30T08:20:47.343-07:002018-08-30T08:20:47.343-07:00That rock is filled to the brim.

We've already booked our Vegas, Grand Canyon, Zion and Bryce trip for next summer! I can't wait for more desert adventures. I haven't even posted all of Utah from this summer.
