"Graffiti" in Nature

prizes14 · Mar 28, 2024

Saw a picture in another thread of a rock face where someone's name was carved with the date of 1925. Wondering what is the oldest date you have found carved on something in nature. (I'm not condoning doing this)

The oldest I've found was in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Minnesota. The date was in the early 1700's. Not sure why I didn't take a picture.

1883 on a cabin in Southern CO. 1881 on my place outside of Livingston.

1700's in Minnesota? That is crazy. Was it written in English or French? I saw a rail car with "Milli Vanilli" painted on the side. That must have been pretty old.

I want to say it was 1728. The Voyagers and Hudson Bay Company used to trap that area because it was easy access from Lake Superior. There are lots of ancient indian petroglyphs too.

Not sure who this guy was, but he apparently visited Utah a long time ago...
