We went back to the area behind Congress to find the petroglyphs we went looking for a couple of weeks ago. John went with us to help us locate them. It was an out of the way place, and unless you knew what you were looking for, you would have missed them.
I wonder what they are saying?
A closer shot
The rock is lodged against other rocks, how did they get that way?
I think they are talking about animals in these drawings
So I climbed the rock for a discovery picture, yes, it was cold and windy, and yes, I am wearing a winter jacket and stocking cap we dug out of storage!
Around the petroglyphs, you will find the grain grinding holes in the rocks

Be careful because you have cacti and sticker bushes around the rocks

meeting of the male minds! (John's the one that knew the way to the petroglyphs)
Saguaro blooms happen in May and you can see them on the barrels
Not all barrels have blooms -- blooms are usually white but can be yellow
Closer picture of the blooms, I am not sure what the two black dots are??
Maybe insects in my zoom mode?
Here's another really tall one, with blooms at the top and side barrel.
I just like the greenery in front of this lonely saguaro, plus the blue skies and puffy clouds!
An then we found this saguaro with many twisted barrels, full of bird holes -- amazing!
We then journeyed around Indian Rock and I got to drive John's UTV which has power steering. Darrel wanted to me to see if it made a big difference in driving, and you can tell, mostly when you are hitting the rough spots and the wheel doesn't jerk as much! Maybe the next UTV will have the power steering feature??
Better run, adding one more post to catch you up with the happenings!
Love and sending blessings,
Susan & Darrel
