John Adams was there.
My first instinct is that this is much more modern. The style doesn't look like most other inscriptions from the time. 1807 would be pretty darn old for that area. The next oldest I can think of in the general area are Robidoux (1837) and Julien (1836).
Judging from the photos in your TR I think I know exactly where this is, and that seems like an odd place for someone to be exploring in the early 1800s. More likely it was done after the road was constructed.
I agree.Quote:

I had no beliefs it was anything super old or historically relevant, I was just curious if someone had seen anything like it and knew who it was doing them and why.....But not really super concerned with it. Probably just some bored rando out in the sun too long :haha:
It's in the Right Hand of Blaze Canyon, just west of Floy Wash, if anybody is interested.
JA are my initials, and 1807 are the last four digits of my phone number, but I SWEAR I didn't do it!
Seeing your other post reminded me I wanted to reply to this.Quote:

Just sayin'.
Well, I guess it all depends on what kind of a girl you are looking for. :cool2:Quote:
