Were you aware that the Belfast petroglyph site also serves as ancient observatory? This event only occurs on the morning of the summer solstice when the sun enters a chamber highlighting a variety of glyphs, among other things. It is quite the sight to see.
This is an early morning excursion and I mean early as we gather at 5 a.m. to make the trek. In preparation attendees receive in advance John Rudolph’s paper, “An Ancient Solar Observatory.” If there is enough interest we can make the trip this year. Last year only one person indicated an interest, but did not commit, so I cancelled. So it is important that you express an interest to me in advance.
The solstice occurs on Sunday, June 21. On Saturday, June 20, I will send an email with all the details, or on the other hand whether its cancelled. After all, if it is overcast there is no sense in going.
Note: There is a $5.00 fee for non-subscribers.
I know that my Dad knew about the petroglyphs , but dont’t know that he ever went up there for the Summer Solstice !!
