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 again this year. Please let me know. One final note the solstice occurs on Thursday, June 21.
On Wednesday, June 20, I will send an email with all the details. However, if it is overcast there is no sense in going.
Note: There is a $5.00 fee for non-subscribers.
I’d like to come again this year!
Tim,
Count me in as indicated last week.
Mark
