The second quarter of the year gave me a chance to visit Belvidere to see my parents and siblings, our first SAR trip of the year to see petroglyphs, a visit from Kate and Abby, the first public bronze pour at IAIA, the IAIA powwow, and fires, fires, fires.

Dad was recovering from an injury in April. Mary Ellen, Mark, Tom, and I arranged to be in Belvidere at the same time. We spent a good bit of time sitting…
Mom probably got tired of all the "smart" talk.

Getting ready to make a point
For our first SAR trip of the year, Patricia and I visited a site with many petroglyphs. I can't tell you where it is other than to say it is in Northern New…
The rocks in this area have a patina (or "desert varnish") that is scraped away to create images.
Some of the images are simple.
Some are more complex.
Each one has something to say. The problem is that no one is exactly sure what is being said.
Note the spear(?) through the neck. This one has a recognizable face.
Since the petroglyphs were placed here over thousands of years, there are different styles. Sometimes different styles are found on the same rock.
