Perhaps random squiggles on rocks ? Perhaps just old graffiti (white man's or indians) meaning nothing (I mean, nothing in-so-far as treasure goes).
Do you have pix of these "rock symbols" ?

Georgteown Otter Creek-pics
Yes -
The third picture shows what looks like a skull, however we believe it shows the layout of the canyon. I have more pics, but they are too large to upload I would have to send them gmail or figure a way to downsize them. There is a pic of a huge sun with multiple rays, another with a horseshoe and other marks and 2 more pics.
The carvings are at the end of otter creek ( as you the the path from the trailhead) trail next to the stream. They are worn down now, but we suspect they may be old Spanish.

The symbols have been deeply carved. There has been a lot of mining/miners in this area over a long long span of time. We were suspecting that they may be very very old - maybe a map made by the early Spanish. If you look a Kenworthy's or Mary Carson's books a lot of these symbols sure do fit. We are just trying to figure or where & how.
So my question is why would anyone take the enormous amount of time it would require to do this just for fun?
