The Rock Art Foundation

This nonprofit works to preserve ancient rock art locations all around the lower Pecos area.  We checked out White Shaman site today.  It is a small cave that they think was devoted to religious ceremony rather than a place to live so it is considered a pretty important find.  We clambered down rock strewn ledges and across some precarious smooth rock.  They spend their money on archeology not trail maintenance so the journey out to the site was a bit of a challenge.  The rock art was pretty intricate and leaves one wondering what message they meant to leave and for whom.  As sort of a two-for, we got a nice view of the Pecos River from the cliffy bank.   There were goats too….they navigated the steep rocky cliffs much better than we did.
