    Wendy Harrell will be leading this Field Trip.    Questions: harrellw@att.net  209-777-4576

    Field trip is to Rocky Hill and Bacon Hill, both sites are east of Porterville CA, in the foothills of the Sierras. March 4th and 5th.Any vehicle is OK, no dirt road driving. Saturday meet at 9AM at the corner of HWY 198 and Yokohl Road. Sundays meet up time TBA. Hike is moderately strenuous, some scrambling over boulders. Both are large painted sites. Accommodation available in Porterville and Visalia.

    Rocky Hill Pictographs

    This is a rare opportunity to see painted and cupule sites on private land, none of which are available to the public. Porterville Rocky Hill contains a large complex of sites that range from pre-contact to the historic period. They include pitted boulders, grooves, slides and many other features typical of large Yokuts habitation sites. The polycrome pictographs are good examples of the Yokuts painted style. Oioiu, the place of the pregnant woman, is the only ethnographically documented cupule site of this type in Tulare County. Much of the walking is across gently rolling ground with some moderate hiking. Th is tour takes approximately 8 hours.
