Petroglyph National Monument
Posted by Ana on Friday Apr 15, 2011 Under TravelsOn April 9, we went to the Petroglyph National Monument, in New Mexico. My mom and my dad did a senior ranger program and then they got their badges and got a postcard. Then they did the senior ranger pledge. It was very fun to watch to watch them do that, because I had never seen an adult get a ranger badge like we kids do.
My dad got a patch and a pin at Petroglyph
My mom giving the senior ranger pledge for the first time.
A petroglyph is a picture hammered into a rock. They call it the Petroglyph National Monument because there are 20 thousand petroglyphs on rocks in the park. The bird on a petroglyph usually has a beak and a tail that goes all the way around, like this:

Van, Jean, Greta, Stella, Ellie & Ana, you are amazing…I didn’t recognize a “petrograph” until you shared. All this and Van and Jean, you are documented “Senior Rangers” Great! And your wonderful trip continues! Jean, Essie said you left your nest on wheels long enough to meet with coca cola folks out East…What kind of experience did that add? Are you travelers keeping up with the Bald Eagle family in Decorah? Love Y’all, Grrrreat Aunt Rita
