Three Rivers Petroglyph Site

Jack and I had a great time hiking around the Three Rivers Petroglyph Site yesterday. Between about 900 and 1400 CE, the Jornada Mogollon people created these petroglyphs by knocking the patina off of the rocks with other rocks. There are over 21,000 of these glyphs on the hillsides there. Jack and I hiked all over the mountain, and we both took lots of photos. Here are some of mine:












Many of the glyphs are of animals:









And there are animal tracks:








Some are representative of people or parts of people:





This one is a man ;)


Many of the glyphs are of birds:










Fanciful creatures abound:






Of course, I also love the geometric figures:




Last evening we stayed at Ruidoso Downs, at a nice RV Park called Circle B. Although we had a brief power outage this morning, we were still able to get duded up for church. We went to the First Presbyterian Church in Ruidoso Downs, and it was fun. They did a service in memory of the Holocaust. Parts of the service were read in Hebrew, and the pastor told us how evil stuff like tends to start out with small and subtle steps.

After the service we were invited to eat with the congregation at their Potluck luncheon! It was wonderful and we enjoyed meeting more of the people.

Then we drove on to... Ruidoso! LOL we did not get very far very fast! We went to the Hubbard Museum of the West, and it was very nice. They had lots of really fine carriages, horse things, Indian artifacts icluding neat baskets and kachinas, and many other things.

Since by now it was getting along toward 3 pm, we drove just to Roswell, where we are staying at the Town & Country RV Park. You can see us in the "Where is Janee now?" link over to the right!
