ANOTHER SPANISH TRAVELER

This inscription when translated means "Pedro Romero passed through here on the 2nd of August, year of 1751." This inscription is an example of what early park managers did to try to preserve these inscriptions, they darkened them with graphite/pencil lead. A bit intrusive for preservation attempts, this practice was ended in the 1930's.
