Took my friend out to see the Piedras Grandes and Indian Hill caves last Friday. Turned onto Dos Cabezas Road and got stuck in a traffic jam.

The road is so different we had trouble finding our way and had to backtrack a couple times, all under the watchful eyes of a pair of Pattern Energy vehicles that only became disinterested near the county line.

On the way to Piedras Grandes site, stopped to get the drinks out of the heat in this little cave.

Not sure how legit this is. Maybe a guy with a surfboard.

Outside was a nice yoni.

Further up, the cave. The sign shows the table-like pictograph in the wrong place.

The pictographs looked pretty faded and even DStretch didn't do much.

The famous rider on a horse.

Indian Hill is always a neat place and different pictographs seem to stand out every visit. These are in the lower recess to the left of the main part of the cave.

Found this guy hiking back.

Finished up by driving through the Volcanic Hills to Jojobo Wash. Kinda tight for a full size PU.

Great photos! I assume there's a yard off Dos Cabezas Road where they're assembling those things?

They have a few yards for the vehicles and storage and such but they really assemble them right on site where they will go up.

I too lost my way a month or so ago when I went out to Piedras Grandes. All of the workers will slow down driving and the water tanks will start spraying as soon as they see you watching them.
The guy on the surfboard looked like graffiti to me when I saw it, did you go see graffiti cave?

No, must have missed that one. Is it in the same general area on the left side of the road? Saw the water truck headed my way and immediately rolled up my windows! Tom

Is that the same cave as the handprints?
Never found out the story on those.

That tagger looks like he broke is left index finger and forgot to get it pinned. Keep your eyes peeled for that guy! Think I recall a similar finger deformity noted on prehistoric cave paintings at a European site. Tom
