Pictographs

These photos were taken many years ago, (mid 1980's) no idea how these pictographs have fared in the meantime. They are up on the western side of the lake about mid way.

 Please look at, but do not touch or alter these important pictographs in any way.

Pitt Lake aliens!!!






This image appears to be two people in a canoe, with one standing and pointing a rifle?



General view of the most visible pictographs from the lake.


There are more than these photos show. Scanned from negatives.

Pitt Lake legends videos

I personally do not believe in any of it, the Mitchell bomber site and the wreckage, should be left alone as a memorial to the crew who died there.

Nazi gold Part 1 --- Part 2
