In May I was in the Moore area searching for some particular pictographs (http://www.bogley.com/forum/showthread.php?54437-Moore-Area-Hiking), but I wasn't able to find them. After I got home that day I did some more looking around in Google Earth and found an even more likely place to look, but it wasn't until yesterday that I got a chance to go looking there. A friend and I hiked to that spot and found the rock art right where I was hoping to find it.

On our way back to the truck, we saw from a distance what looked like more petroglyphs, but once we got close we realized they were modern drill holes in a cliff face, some of them with the drill cores left in the holes. Very strange. We also found a faint snake petroglyph.

We drove a short distance after returning to the vehicle and went in search of another petroglyph panel that was fairly easy to find based on photos that are floating around out there on the web. It was a short but productive trip. :cool2:
