OBSESSED WITH PETROGLYPHS


Yesterday morning we decided to take a trip up to Sego Canyon which is north of Thompson
Springs Utah. We researched this area before we left Oregon and knew this is one area we did not want to miss. When we arrived at our destination, we were totally blown away by the pictographs that we saw. I will break these down by cultures. The first being the latest culture of the Notah or Ute's since the 1200's.. The experts know this because of the horses in their pictographs. Whenever a horse and rider is depicted, they know the date to be after A.D. 1540 as that is when the Spaniards reintroduced the horse to the New World. Unfortunately, there have been some idiot's that felt the need to deface these wonderful pictures that represents this history of our country.
