| In April 2019, I led Alan Cressler and archaeologist Jannie Loubser up the mountain to show them the petroglyph rock. We made a tracing, which Jannie later converted to a graphic layout. I only took a few photos of the rock, since I had photographed it before, but I shot a variety of spring wildflowers! |
