Something interesting in the Sierra's while surfing Google Earth... I grabbed a couple screen shots from different angles. The last 2 pic's are from a weird outcropping of vertical rocks I found.

I've been a "Desert Rat" all my life; prospecting, camping, hunting and exploring historical sites. I've recently stumbled onto some symbols and carvings in the rocks that were interesting. Christian Crosses, turtles, hearts, etc... and have been doing some internet research on Spanish History. The symbols I've found led me to some old trails that lead to, what looks like, sealed up mines. Unfortunately, I cant get to them alone. My Girl and I have been documenting locations found on google earth and going out to the field taking pysical photos of some interesting finds. I'll post them soon and would appreciate any input. Thx - John
