Carved name. Painted Rock, Carrizo Plain N.M., San Luis Obispo Co., CA. Dec 22, 2011. .JPG

While many names carved into Painted Rock are of more recent origin,some are from the first white settlers and visitors to the plain. This one, carved into the rock beneath an overhanging ledge is from 1908.

 

Some have claimed that it was done by the founder of Atascadero, but his name was Edward Gardner Lewis who occasionally went by E. G. Lewis. Geo. was a fairly common abbreviation for George. Possibly one of his relatives?
