This is an independent Blog of Don Liponi and some of his hiking friends in Southern California. We highlight the rock art of the Kumeyaay as they were the primary Native American Group in Southern California and Northern Baja California. On our trips we go further north into Cahuilla territory and east into Arizona's Patayan culture. Several times a year we travel to the Colorado Plateau or other wilderness areas with other ancient cultures.

Unusual local Kumeyaay pictograph. Jacumba Mountains in San Diego Country - Rock Art.
Obviously, a D-stretched version of a nearly invisible pictograph from the local transition zone [mountain to desert]. All I could see were some black lines and a speckle of red prior to DS processing. I want to call this a bouquet of flowers, but interpretations have often been my downfall, so I must be learning. This site is high above a village at the top of a ridge. Off to the right is a pictograph that resembles a Vulva in black. A large pot drop is a few feet away. Whatever the image may actually be, it is very beautiful, so it is worth sharing. More at the next meeting. I am off to the desert to find some additional sites in a few minutes. It is COLD! Hope to see you out there.
