Owens Peak (8,453') & pictographs, and Coso petroglyphs
Saturday, 30 September 2006
Owens Peak and two pictograph sites
PHOTOS: http://outdoors.webshots.com/album/554512248FZGeGz
Dayclimbed Owens Peak with WLD, then stopped by two pictograph sites.
After dinner and beer at Indian Wells Steak House and Brewery, WLD headed back home, and I drove to Death Valley to meet up with a desert forum group to check out some petroglyphs.

Thanks, revhobo! These are my first pictographs. I might go back this weekend to find my Oakleys, and maybe look for the shortcut. I think I know where I lost them. I hate to do the same trip again, but also hate to spend another $140. This time I'll get one of those straps to hold them around my neck.

Sorry for the off topic, but that's one of the reasons I resist buying such nice glasses - I lose them and scratch them. Are they really that much better than you average $30 polarized wraparounds? Since you had them for a while, I am sure you have an opinion on it now.Snow Nymph wrote:I hate to do the same trip again, but also hate to spend another $140

I have trouble finding anything to fit me. I have a few pairs of those $50 glasses that cyclists use. I have a small nose so most glasses slide off my face. The Oakleys don't.
So for me its worth it if I can find something that fits.

Tomcat_rc went back with me to do the peak again on Saturday (10/7) and showed me a really fun shortcut!
The main reason to go back so soon was to find my glasses. We both looked and didn't find them. At least we tried.
We had a good hike. I'll post pics in the next day or so, mainly of the shortcut.

Owens Peak, two picto sites and search for lost sunglasses
PHOTOS: http://outdoors.webshots.com/album/554681774csnZOS
Last weekend I lost some expensive sunglasses between the pictograph sites. Tomcat_rc joined me to look for them. Didn't find them. At least we tried. The hike climbs almost 3,000' in 2.5 miles. Round trip including both picto sites is about 7 miles
