Log Text: The cave can be easily found following a paved road up hill towards some remote communities near the Pacific coast. The place is in a forest and there is room for a few cars to park. I liked the complexity of the artwork but disliked that contemporary humans had to ruin the site by spraying paint over some figures.

Cernica neolithic tombs submitted by mfrincu on 20th Aug 2015. Modern cross marking the place of the 350+ neolithic tombs discovered at Cernica.

Log Text: The place is on the shores of the Cernica lake. I found it by following a 1km dirt road. Park the car at the last house and follow the dirt road heading towards the lake. Turn left where it splits and keep looking for the cross on the right. Even if you miss it you are in the right place as the burial place covered the entire area.

Visited: Yes on 22nd Jun 2014. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 3
Bright Angel Trail submitted by thecaptain on 2nd Jun 2009. The Bright Angel Trail is one of the few trails which cross the Grand Canyon, and descends into the canyon from the Grand Canyon Village on the southern rim. The trail is an ancient one, originally used by the Havasupai Indians to reach their gardens low down in the canyon.
Just beyond the first tunnel on the trail down the side of the canyon can be seen some ancient petroglyphs, where there are animals, hand and footprints, and many enigmatic symbols.

Log Text: You need to know where to look for them. Just follow the trail into the canyon and pay attention to your left as you go through the 1st tunnel. You will see few red pictographs on the canyon walls. Take a good lens of at least 100-200mm.

Bishop Eastern Sierra Petroglyphs submitted by Andy B on 20th Nov 2012. An area in the Volcanic Tableland in eastern California where thieves apparently attempted to carve out a petroglyph and then decided to move on without it. They ultimately extracted six slabs with the ancient images, and damaged many of the others in between with their equipment.

Log Text: Not very easy to find from the main road. You need to have prior knowledge of the few sites accessible by dirt roads only or you can spend a few days exploring. The Sierra Nevada mountains are amazing too but the petroglyphs themselves are splendid!
