The Roads Less Traveled following the Rochester Panel [rock art] is a huge pdf file of 40 pages - it may take a some time to load, displays properly in Firefox and the latest version of MS Edge (10/2020), opens blank pages on top in old MS Edge (press the + button to bring it up), may fail to open in Google Chrome and Opera, and may require navigating dual scroll bars in older versions of Internet Explorer. The Roads Less Traveled has a lot of information about, and photos of, the Swell. The map of San Rafael County (the next tile) is also huge, a single-page resizeable map of the Swell. If the close button is not visible on these two, use the browser back-arrow.
