El Chivo Mountain located very near the town of Acámbaro is where I took the photos of the petroglyphs below. This
was midway up the mountain. There, we encouontered a local farmer and his son walking. He suggested
not going on up the mountain. He said there was "mucho hierba". Literally translated it would mean a lot
of weeds and bushes. My wife, who is from here, said it could also mean that there is things like marijuana
planted; and if so, there might be armed men there guarding it. That, plus the coral snake that crossed the path
in front of us, and that we had our 3 year old son with us led us to the immediate decision NOT to go on farther up the El
Chivo mountain.
