pappy19 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/31/07 Posts: 7442 Loc: Garden Valley, Idaho	Peter- Did you happen to see the National Geographic Special on the Canyonlands NP last night? It was awsome. You should have moved to Utah sooner, you will have a hard time catching up seeing all of the cool spots just in that park alone.

Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2587 Loc: Southeast Utah	Pap I did not see it. While I had cable TV in Pennsylvania, I haven't gotten TV here, and I don't miss it. I will have to see if it is available online. I am seeing a lot of cool spots and hopefully I have many more years of exploring Peter _________________________ Peter Kaufman NRA Life GOA SAF RKCC CM-023 RKS #5642 SHAG # 005 Ironwood Nut Life is too short to have ugly knives

Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2587 Loc: Southeast Utah	Hiking today, was about 60 degrees this morning going up to mid 90's in the afternoon. Spring may have sprung to summer, but it looks like it may cool down a little later in the week. Some very nice petroglyph panels that are not common knowledge, as well as some nice scenery Peter Attachments ------ Description: arch ------ Description: fins ------ Description: petros ------ Description: petros ------ Description: petros ------ Description: salt valley ------ Description: petros ------ Description: lizzard _________________________ Peter Kaufman NRA Life GOA SAF RKCC CM-023 RKS #5642 SHAG # 005 Ironwood Nut Life is too short to have ugly knives

pappy19 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/31/07 Posts: 7442 Loc: Garden Valley, Idaho	Cool pictures as usual. Have you ever heard what materials the natives used to draw those petro's that allow them to last so long in the elements?

Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2587 Loc: Southeast Utah	Pap The petroglyphs were made by pecking into the sandstone. I think they may have used antler, and/or harder rock like chert. They used the chert to make arrowheads, spear points and other sharp cutting tools. Many times they did their artwork on walls that had the dark patina and that were protected from the elements. Since they are in sheltered locations, the have lasted a long time Peter _________________________ Peter Kaufman NRA Life GOA SAF RKCC CM-023 RKS #5642 SHAG # 005 Ironwood Nut Life is too short to have ugly knives

Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2587 Loc: Southeast Utah	I haven't posted any photos in a while and here are some from a short, but interesting hike around Balanced rock mesa near town. We are having temperatures in the upper 90's low 100's so having a large quantity of water is essential. It isn't too bad after you get used to it, especially if there is a breeze.

pappy19 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/31/07 Posts: 7442 Loc: Garden Valley, Idaho	You can always cool off in the big muddy or just wait and have a cold brewski. It may have been hot that day but those are cool pictures.
