Petroglyphs used for target practice. That is
when they're not removing the petroglphs

Missing petroglyph??? There has been a
problem
with that. Fences and barricades were installed
to help prevent such nonsense. People used to
back their vehicle right up to the petroglyphs and
load them on...
We only saw one other person all
day...
