Painted Caves

Our drive up to the caves, so ugly right?

Please remember this is what we look like after five days of camping....

Our group minus a few

got this info from a website "The walls of this small cave carved from towering sandstone boulders contain some of the finest remaining rock art created by Chumash Native Americans. A steep path leads to the cave entrance, which is protected by heavy iron grillwork. Anthropologists estimate that the paintings date to the 1600s and earlier. The meaning of these enigmatic images has been lost."
