On our recent trip to Vegas, I (after a few drinks on an empty stomach) thought it would be just hilarious to see how many of those ‘business’ cards I could collect. I had hundreds, no 2 were the same!!

Shrinky – Thanks! I’m always happy to hear I made someone laugh!

Yes, Susan is our GPS, and actually, the voice OH downloaded for it is actually called Susan, too! It’s a coincidence, because she was called Susan before that.

Carolina – Haha! Gretchen sounds very difficult, but it could be amusing!

Yes, that first one does look like a comet, doesn’t it? You think Data would travel by comet? Mmmm … maybe!

Gel – I have heard that Peru has some wonderful history, and scenery, too! You only have to read Don’t Bug Me’s blogs on the subject!

But if you’ve never been to Utah, I recommend it! It’s gorgeous.

Dave Ingram – Thanks! Yes, they do seem timeless, don’t they? It’s easy to feel very small and very mortal in their presence.

Christina, Sweden – Thank you! Yes, I’ll gradually be posting some of the hundreds of pictures I took!

Maureen – I think it was the adults who were doing the ‘defacing’ back in those days! LOL!

Awesome… I get tingles too when viewing things from the past like this.

But I have to wonder: did the grownups back then chide their teens about “defacing” the rocks too ?

Jay – these are really cool images and I liked the story that went along with it. Amazing to think of how long they’ve been there. Timeless.

These are not only terrific photos, they are fascinating artistic wonders from history! I never knew these were in Utah nor have I been to that state. These are great! I was watching the history channel yesterday while treadmilling and learned of places in Peru (I think) where other natural wonders were made. (Huge stone art that they think may have also been an astronomy learning attempt.)

Aaahhh, ancient graffiti, always interesting. Modern vandalism, always very disturbing. Could spend a lot of time trying to decipher the last photo. I thought the first one was a comet or something. Perhaps the arrival of our old friend you-know-who?

How is Sid?

Our GPS is called Gretchen because she speaks German. She can also speak English (we have a British car), but then she also assumes we are driving on the ‘wrong’ side of the road. Which can be very confusing
Glad you are back and that you obviously had a great time.

oh, thanks for the belly laugh at the end – GPS, indeed (snort)! Truly fascinating, isn’t it? And yes, seems thuggery is a world wide pestulance, sad to say (sigh).

Lisa’s Chaos – George, huh? For our Susan, it’s not so much ‘which way did he go’ but (often in duet with OH) ‘Shut up, Susan!!‘ ROFL!

Regina and Amanda Moore – Thank you for your comments! I’m so sorry to have missed them out earlier – they must have been in ‘waiting to be approved’ list when I answered the others.

Amanda – I’m so glad you enjoyed the ‘back story’, and thank you for your kind comments on my photography.

Ann – I’m happy to have had you along for the ride! I have OH, of course, which is great, but sometimes I wish I had more people to share these things with. Inevitably, there are things which appeal more to me than to him, or vice versa, which is why I called the petroglyph canyon my ‘Kennedy Space Centre’. I am awed by the space centre, but not so much as by things like this! And he loved the petroglyphs too, but again, not so much as I did.
