I tried to post some pics last night of our trip to Moab Utah, but I am still learning how to do things on my computer so it didnt quite work out. Lets try this again.
Sunday morning Dana, Bre and I went to Moab to check out "Newspaper Rock", which is a large display of native american petroglyphs out in the middle of nowhere. It is pretty awesome, about 20 feet tall by 30 feet wide and literally covered with drawings.
Can you see the face in this rock? It looks just like an indians face to me, I wonder if this is the reason why they chose to write in this area. Newspaper Rock is at the base of this formation.
Just a few pics of the Eastern Utah scenery...
Here are some examples of the petroglyphs. I love the ones with the footprints on them, all of the feet had 6 toes!
Some of the drawings are from different tribes, and include wagon wheels, and men on horseback. This one even has a buffalo in it.
Hope you enjoyed the little tour, stay tuned for more in the future!

I too love the petroglyphs. We have a spot less than a hundred miles from here where the Plains Indians left their pictures on rocks that are flat on the ground. Fascinating aren't they.
Are you lovin' your Apple? I've never dared try one after having nothing but PC's for fifteen years.
Those are amazing! I am defintely going to have to take a trip to see those now.
That is so cool. I have not done much traveling to the west but would sure love to. Thanks for sharing.
