  • beasty_dave_Mk2, on 03/26/2009, -0/+2I remember waking up on a giant rock on vancouver island where I had crashed after hitch-hiking across the whole island, 5 am in a misty dawn, in my sleeping bag with the low hanging autumn sun exposing hundreds of petroglyphs etched millimeters into teh sandstones' surface.

    I dunno if theyre known to academia, but considering where it is, it's doubtful. with the sun overhead they weren't perceivable. In hindsight I prolly shouldn't have slept directly on them, let alone walked all over em...prolly did a cuppa hundred years of erosion in those steps. But anyways yeah...woah...I yammered on there for a sec. o.0

    1: It can be no more than 6-10,000 years old
    2: It would have been washed away in the great flood.
