Main St., Quartzsite West of McDonald's 928-927-6014 OPEN DAILY 6 am-8 pm - 7 Days a Week! CARL By Mark Goldberg The Sonoran Desert has a wide range of beauty and "surprises" for those will- ing to study and explore. A small group of Quartzsite residents were treated to a guided tour of The Blythe Giant Intaglios which lie fi fteen miles north of Blythe on Highway 95. The Blythe Intaglios are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and have been documented in Erich Von Daniken's book, "Chariots of the Gods." Our guide was eighty-one year old Blythe resident, historian, Chemehuevi sacred sites monitor, author and activist, Alfredo Figueroa and his son, Jesse. These designs on the surface of the desert are " oglyphs," also known as "in- taglios." The rocks on the surface of the desert often have "desert varnish," which is Manganese which has leached out of the rocks over thousands of years, leaving a dark stain on the surface of the rocks. |
