Bucket List to Yuma

We are in Yuma this weekend on another geocaching mission. We have traveled to Yuma via I-8 several times passing the brown Painted Rock Petroglyph Site sign every trip. And on each passing of the sign, I have whined wanting to drive the 10 or so miles off the interstate to check out the petroglyphs. Finally, today we did the 10 mile or so side-trip to see the Painted Rock Petroglyph Site. Yes, you guessed it. We stopped because there was a nearby geocache. That made it a feasible, plausible side-trip, by Hubby standards.

See the lizard on top of the rocks?

It is a chuckwalla lizard.

I did not realize how huge their burrow might be.

The lizard sightings were a bonus!

The site was just this pile of rocks.

More about this tomorrow.

Lots of history connected with the area.

It was an okay side trip. I don't think it is the best 

example of petroglyphs. I think the one near Camp Verde 

is better. V-Bar-V Heritage Petroglyph Site.

Glad we stopped, but the geocache & lizards

made it worthwhile. 

Another bucket list adventure on tomorrow's post!
