Nevada. In the Peavine Mountains lonely, bored sheepherders entertained themselves by carving naked ladies & messages into the Aspen trees. Otherwise known as Arborglyphs. The oldest carvings are dated 1901, the most recent 1989.

    I always thought these were left by tramps and hobos, for the next tramp or hobo, telling each other where a hot meal is, or a mean dog, or an empty barn, or- it looks like a forest full here- a nice-lookin’ lady.
