Rice road rock art

[ONE-A-DAY]

Every time I take rice road I always enjoy the miles and miles of rock art along the tracks. There’s probably 1000’s of them and some must have take some serious time to do. Rocks, railroad ties, one is even actual pieces of track that must have been discarded. Which makes me wonder, do people pull over on the way to the river in 115 degree heat and spend a few hours making these things or is it the waiting on a tow truck or a trailer tire fix with nothing to do situation? Never seen anyone actually making one in 35 years of driving that road.

Has anyone here made one?

Holy shit you’d better be careful.
There’s people here that want to shoot graffiti criminals.

My best friend went every year to Parker with his GF and their kids (from different relationships) she always liked looking at the rock art as well so he decided to drive out there and spell out "Will you marry me Taye" in July of 2013. As they were driving out there she was looking at the art and saw that and lost it, she said yes of course but passed away the following February of stage 4 cervical cancer shortly after they got married . We miss her a lot.

I'm sure it's gone now or mostly gone.

Too much work. Or I'm just getting too old and lazy.

I think of that also. Never seen anyone either

I ain’t got time for that shit.

I have never seen anyone do it in the summer but I have seen groups in the cooler months.

Did one with my daughter when she was around 10...she's 28 now.
I'd say it lasted long enough to see it for maybe 5-6 yrs
It got pretty much ruined when they did rail & tie maintenance.

Used to be a "RD SUX" on that patch. I always wondered who did it. I haven't been that way in a decade, so don't know if it's still there.

And no, been going to the river since 74, and I've never seen anyone make one.

They are the crop circles of the desert.

I heard there was one out there but I never saw it.

Stopped one time with my dad. Only time we ever went to Havasu so we stopped on the way back and spent 30 minutes dying in the heat. Can’t even remember what we wrote. I’ve got initials all over Ice Cream Canyon in Powell at the different water lines since that’s where we went boating.

 

[Ziggy]

The old service station by Eagle mntn has been "defaced" by RDsux'ers too......its had some damn good staying power too.

 

[Danger Dave]

Hemecula!

I'd be willing to spend an afternoon this winter or spring to make the FJB version of Let's Go Brandon if anyone else is interested?

 

[Badchoices03]

The wife and I talk about that almost every time we go through there....who stops to do it? On the way out we are too excited to get there and get out on the water to waste time, and on the way back we are burnt out from multiple days on the water to want to stop anywhere....

 

[Lavey5150]

That rock art is timeless,I've watched it since I was a kid,all of our trips to Havasu Palms,witnessed lots of folks pulled over constructing their masterpieces. The knowledge I gained from the Texaco Gas Station bathroom walls at Desert Center surpassed these rock words tho.

 

[Yldboyz]

We did one with my oldest boy when he was about and at the same time we stopped at the shoe tree and had him hang up his shoes.

I had seen some girls take their bras off and throw those on the tree as well, that was a sight to see.

I really thought about stopping on my way home yesterday but the kids were napping. I did come home the CA side of Parker and we found a family of Burros that the kids got to see and pet. Not a bad day

I would too . Sounds like fun . Even though we moved to Henderson i would still enjoy it . And as a side note the 95 from Needles to Vidal junction is just as scary !
