Basic signs and symbols you have found

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Odd that you would post that Thom.Coincidence,actually.Beech trees that I have found point toward cedars on different high points in my area.The cedars are not common to my area and have not grown to any consequense in the 50 + years I've been around them.
Sadly ,strip mining and logging have wiped much of this out.Perhaps not too much.
Off topic mayby,but when I asked an 85yrold Fellow Traveller who has lived here all his life sitting at my table last week eating bbq about this he became very guarded and secretive.
My own Father,who was initiated into the Breckenridge,Co Lodge in the early 50's will not speak to me about this either.................
If I told ya I'd have to kill ya?

Jim,

Sounds almost like you ran into the local sentinel family.
Be careful, they'll be watching every move you make now.

Victorio,
The sentinel families are still there,
watching the KGC caches,

most especially the very old timers.

It's a small community with a smaller group of 'ring knockers' with long noses to look down past at those of us who don't play well with others.Yup,I'm careful.I've cut their sign on my backtrail a time or two.

This has to be the absolute best Duck I have ever seen.

MB,

At a quick glance the duck is circled in the foreground.
The head profile circled in blue as well.
My question is ...
The trail in the background on the left is the trail in?

Thom , this is what is there ,

The trail can not be seen in that pix , it is linear and zig zags through out the arroyo's and does switch backs along the sides of the mountains , those jokers were doing some serious works as many of the trails were worked with boulders and rocks to fill in the ravines so travel would be easier
Here is the same pix , except looking from the opposite direction , the arrow points to where the other head is in the above pix

I have had a chance to look a little closer and I still think the rock I have outlined in blue is carved.

The way the angle is smothed out on it doesn't look natural.

Hey Buddy,

Nice bird head there. I'm not so much concerned with that as what's on the opposite side. A trick to see that the bird is man made and not natural is how the crown of the head is worked and the color is lighter than the rest of the weathered rock.

On the reverse side, there is what looks like a heart "C"

Other worked rocks are "A" and "B" I guess that "A" is the top of the bird's head. The numbers "1" and "2" are an example of what I mean by looking for the color differentiation in the rocks.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Normally, if your pile were on a hillside, I might think that the newer wear on the tops of "A" and "B" was the result of other rocks falling down the hill and bouncing off of these, but from what I can see of the pile, that wouldn't be possible.
