V Bar V Petroglyphs

Ok, someone suggested that it was a cop out not to post a photo of the glyphs at V Bar V site, so here's one. The site is pretty interesting. If you look at the glyphs closer to the ground, you can see that they're pretty dense in number, many are right on top of eachother. Higher up are the more distinct glyphs. The guide at the site pointed out that the creek that ran nearby would flood out occasionally and deposit soil up against the glyph panel. There was evidence of an archaeological dig, and it's said that there are glyphs on the panel that are as much as four feet underground. So at one point, these glyphs were as much as 12 feet above ground. Not bad for a group of people that were estimated to be about five feet tall.
