Pictures and Sun

Near Gila Bend Arizona is a site with lots of petroglyphs.  LOTS!  There were so many on some rocks it was hard/impossible to separate them to understand what they were picturing.  Make sure you click on the 2nd picture to see this better.

On the way to the site we saw a solar plant that is being built.  It's supposed to be one of the largest in the world when it's done in 2013.  It's a parabolic trough plant, meaning it has long curved mirrors.  It is huge covering acres.  Some of the workers are living in the RV park where we stayed.  The website says there are over 1,600 people working to construct this plant.  I wish they had a visitors center or something.  Right now things are partially hidden behind a fence.  But it's pretty cool!
