Sears Point Petroglyphs

A shortcut can be a little like a drinking binge. You barely survive it and afterwards promise to never do it again. Until the next time of course. The road looked OK on the mapping software, but the sand was really soft and I bottomed out in a few places. Bottoming out of course brought vivid memories of cracking my oil pan on that trip back in June. And we were out in the sticks. Forget a tow truck, we would have needed a helicopter to get out of the spot we were in if we got stuck. I'm just gonna have to break down and get myself a 4WD early next year. Otherwise you might see me on the evening news.

I have no idea what this image means, but there were about half a dozen glyphs with this theme. On top of the mountain (I think it was actually a mesa) there was a rock formation that represented this style of petroglyph.

I have an explanation of some of the petroglyphs at Sears point. If you send me your e-mail address I will attach them to you. The explanation was prepared by Boma Johnson who recently retired from Yuma BLM. Did you see the glyphs on the West side of the wash (not river). That is what this sheet attempts to explain. We are going to Sears Point today, Dec. 22 to see the sun set where a solstice marker indicates it will. Call 928-502-0171 if you read this in time and want to go.
