Santa Fe New Mexican published an article today about the Mesa Prieta Petroglyph project. Pilar Yacht Club friendly teenage employee, Tyler Martin, is in the photograph on page C-6. Unfortunately I could not copy the photo for the blog. She took part this summer in the two week project which takes students to hunt and record petroglyphs in the Black Mesa area (or Mesa Prieta, 35 miles north of Santa Fe). The program was honored to receive the Take Pride in America Award of 2011 by the US Dpt of the Interior. Notable quote from the article: "We were , in many instances, the first eyes that had looked at these beautiful petroglyphs for hundreds of years, maybe longer," said Paul Williams, a BLM archaeologist."See the full article at this link: http://www.santafenewmexican.com/Leisure/Program-honored-for-helping-kids-discover-thousands-of-petrogly
