It is quite a remarkable area. The well would have given me the willies for sure. Learned some more geography today. Not sure why I'd assumed the Silver Peak repeater was in the Sierras when its actually in the Coso Range south of where you were. Looks like that area is pretty lightly traveled?
We were there during the week and it was nice and lonely. 
There were other foot tracks, but not many.

another great report! Thanks for sharing. So, how old are those bits of rock art?
The article states older than 10,000 years.

I always love a trip report that motivates me to fire up google earth and break out my maps but, none of my maps cover that area. Other than a 1951 topo and some street maps I'm not sure what I need to look for.
Happy to help. Don't forget caltopo.com for free mapping

Nice report Ski.
My gal calls her I-Pad her good camera, and has come in handy at times.
The tablet sure came in handy for us! Thanks for the nice comment.

Great report Ski.
I toured that area about 15 years ago with a group of geology buddies. The glyphs in that region are quite spectacular as you so well captured. We were also very fortunate to have a connection with a consulting geologist and managed to get a private tour of the ruins at the old Coso Hot Springs Resort on the China Lake Test Center.
Thanks to you and the Lady for sharing your adventure.
What fun! Thanks for the nice comments!

Thanks Ski for sharing your great trip.
Who needs a camera when you have a smart phone/tablet.
What gives the blue color to the rocks?
Great rock art.

I expect the make up of the rock and the type of light during the day.

Interesting area. I wonder why so much art in that locale? Thanks for the report!
Good question. I'm looking forward to reading the book that's on its way.
