I went out there to take some photographs about four months ago. I posted some on the forum. We even had that thread in Local Chat about Archaeological Site Damage in the ES with many photos of the damage done there.

I went back recently to explore further back in and immediately noticed these huge new initials some dimwods carved into the walls next to some ancient petroglyphs. They completely ruined that section of glyphs in this beautiful alcove. The Chalfant site is precious, sacred and now defiled by the culture thieves. They steal our past and sh_t on our memory. They shoot, chisel, carve, peel away and remove our history of the West.

Next to Coso, Chalfant is the absolute finest example of petroglyphs in our entire area. Not many people even know about it. There is no sign and only a gravel road to get down to it. If you have never been there, I advise going out to see something really special in life.

I told Greg, the archaeologist at the Bishop BLM, that this new damage is every bit as wicked and horrid as the saw job.
