Carizzo Palms 12/2/2024
Our parking spot.
Crawl under this small trestle.
Who is this? It must be Susan.
Piedras Grandes and Indian Hill combined into one.
First stop is to see the grande yoni.
On to the cave with pictographs.
These were painted lying on back like Michelangelo painted in Sistine Chapel.
Here is a way to climb up.
We will continue.
The gate is unlocked at tunnel # 20.
And now, down to the canyon.
Boulders are everywhere.
One of the Palm Groves.
Another one.
Lot of palm tree sheddings.
Desert woodpecker was working here.
Did somebody bombed this?
From grove to the next grove.
Nice mortero.
Lunch spot.
Fine going.
So far we are going down.
Switched canyons to get back up.
This one did not make it.
Short brake.
Another easy obstacle.
Back at train tracks.
All together.
