Each one is a little bit of amazing history. I feel that way if it's 200 years old, or 4,000. I agree about Joshua Tree, there is a lot there. We are so lucky to be living in a state that has so much of this stuff. Also, next to states that are also loaded.<br /><br />ladyfi - I have no idea what this one means! It might just be what a shaman saw while in his dream state.<br /><br />PerthDailyPhoto - Thanks Grace! I do get that same feeling. Local Indians still do consider a lot of these places to be sacred and part of their history. Sometimes, it's more than one tribe, because a few have lived here. This whole place is considered a power spot. Just like Ayers Rock is. I would LOVE to visit your country someday and spend several months there.<br /><br />Pat Tilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699973774273291205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-42018055408168201842014-02-13T12:07:52.310-08:002014-02-13T12:07:52.310-08:00Al - Thanks so much Al.

I about to dive into the tutorials and learn how to come up with better results.<br /><br />Brian - Thanks Brian! It takes time, research and a lot of searching in the likely places. Sometimes, I find out from other like minded people.<br /><br />TS Hendrik - It could have been the wheel, or maybe the first game pieces for Trivial Pursuit. <br /><br />Sallie FTL - Yep! That kind of vandalism with "good intent" used to happen quite a bit. I'm going to go back to your blog and also look.<br /><br />Margaret Benbow - Thanks Margaret! I think they need to be honored. It wasn't that long ago that many archaeologists pretty much ignored most rock art and considered it to have no value. Thank goodness that has changed.
