Description:
The small cave is about 18-feet above the ground with ledge in front that is accessible from the ground.
The cave walls have markings for the equinox and others that Burchell has translated meaning
"Arabic New Year", which is the Vernal Equinox. There are other markings including an ogam
ruffled grouse rebus, Roman Numerals for 59 and AD or AI. Burchell was able to translate many of
the inscriptions using Barry Fell's Saga America translations of the Inyo County Californian
zodiac as a guide. The Rock Shelter has a large overhang with a number of scattered inscriptions
on the walls. The sandstone bar also has inscriptions including rune markings, animal and human
footprints petroglyphs, turkey tracks, etc
From where we park there is a mile walk along a wooded ridge to the cave. Burchell will try to have ATVs
available for those needing to ride instead.
