Petroglyphs

Clear, cold, and breezy this morning.  We got up early to get to a seminar on things to see in the southwest.  So-so. 

On a whim we checked for mail again.  A card from Christina and Roland.  Yipee!  Thanks guys.

Again not much we wanted to do at rally for rest of the day so time to tour.  Today, Petroglyph National Monument.

Before we left I climbed up on the Carbus and took a picture of the Sandia Mountains to our east.  Note snow level is not much above us.

Here is a shot of the same mountain from the other side of the valley.

The white spot in the center of the picture below is the entertainment tent and the white line to the left and the smaller one above are a sea and lake of RVs.DSC01179

Local resident.  We were about five feet from it – not bothered at all.

The evening entertainment was Rita Coolidge.  We left in the middle of the third song.

BUT, the evening was not over.  Local balloonists put on a demonstration of “Glowing”.  That was cool.  The pictures below tell it all.
