I know it's not in or around Moab or Mark would have info.

Would seem odd to ask for beta from the bogely masses with no intent to share any back. just sayin'
This is a great group, with more outdoor knowledge from Utah than anything I've ever seen, but I'd say a little give and take usually works best. Takin' and runnin' might work once................

You will share if you want members of this forum to help with your next problem....

That's kinda how things work around here.... if you ask a question about something like this we are more than happy to help you out.... but payment for the forums help is normally a trip report in return.

You will find on this forum that the more you share, the more others will share with you. We have worked hard to eliminate the "I know where it is and you don't... ha ha.." attitude around here that is a problem in other similar forums.

YMMV

Straight Wash has rock art and the sandstone looks about right, but I've been through that area extremely heavy and never seen the panels you posted.

Ernie Canyon has rock art, I've never seen it.

Old Woman Wash has rock art, I've never seen it.

North Temple Wash has rock art, I've never seen it

Spring Canyon has rock art, I've seen it and these are not it. (could have missed it.)

Arch Canyon has rock art, I've seen it and these are not it. (could have missed it.)

Three Fingers has rock art, I've never seen it.

Hope that helps....

go west of green river on I-70. a couple miles past the exit for hwy 24 and just before you head up into the swell there will be a dirt road that takes off on the north and south sides of the highway. blm has gates on both sides. if you get to the rest area you have gone too far.

to the north you access black dragon and petroglyph canyons. to the south you can access little spotted wolf, uneva, three fingers, eardley, ernie, oldwoman and others before finally you hit the temple mtn road (the road into goblin valley). be sure to have a good map as there are plenty of dirt roads in the area and it can be confusing.

the rockart on the temple mtn road is easy to find. about 7 mi. from hwy 24. go past the turnoff to goblin valley and it will be in a huge alcove on the right. can't miss it.

Ok just not familiar with the canyon names. If you exit and go north the road takes you up to the wedge overlook. Did that a few years ago. I guess i'll pull up topo and have a look. Those pictures are pretty awes. If were talking the same place we did not see anything along that main road that looked to intriguing. Did see a lone mule though. He looked bored.

Your moving from Green River to Moab? That's a change in scenery. How'd you pull that off.

Kind of a long story. I'll give you the 10-peso version :

May 2006: Graduate from UofU in mining engineering, move to Monticello, go to work at the Lisbon Valley mine 35 miles south of Moab. It is one of the best jobs I've ever had.

January 2008: Constellation Copper lays me off because of poor management and bad executive decisions. I move to the only solid mining opportunity close to SLC - underground trona in southwest Wyoming. I don't like it very much.

December 2008: Constellation Copper officially declares bankruptcy and the property is to up highest bidder.

March 2009: Property and mineral rights repurchased by a different party.

April 2009: After several months of consulting for the new company, I am offered an upgraded version of my old job back. I'll be relocating next month.

Since were playing show and tell here are some I took near Sid's Mt. a few years ago on a hike with Udink and some other friends. I especially love the one I call the Happy Face Indian and notice the Mt Lion in the other one. What was especially exciting about the site was the ground was littered everywhere with chips from arrow headmaking and we also saw two corn grinders.

[coinslab]

Keep on topic please (reef)
here's some faded petro's we found today.

[RedMan]

That formation looks just like the formation in Black Dragon.
Even the diagonal striations match. It can't be far away.
