Members of the San Diego Rock Art Association about to begin a field trip to the Rock Art sites of La Rumorosa, Baja California, led by Archaeologist Ken Hedges. Ken is a major contributor to a variety of research performed on this magnificent site. La Rumorosa is not only the largest Kumeyaay site of the La Rumorosa style of rock art, the site contains many elements not found at other sites within Kumeyaay territory. After episodes of vandalism, the Mexican government has taken steps to restore and protect this world status prehistoric rock art gallery. La Rumorosa is an easy trip from Tecate, Mexico via a modern toll road. All trips are guided and this State Park contains a picnic area and modern bathrooms with immediate access just north of the toll road. Some photos taken of the pictographs during our visit will follow this post.
What a fantastic group of Rock Art Lovers! This was my very first rock art field trip with Ken Hedges in 1986 in conjunction with a rock art class at The Museum of Man. I've been "hooked" since then.
