Here is a photo of sandstone bluff along the Llano river in Texas.
Ahhh...gotcha. I read it wrong
Don't know if you ever saw Joe Ribaudo's stone map theory:

Hello Jim
I have looked at those pictures of the chimney carvings and they do not convince me that travis carved the stones, although I do believe they were carved by a Tumlinson, just that it wasnāt travis.
you bring up a good point about the sand stone, it is true, sand stone is very prolific throughout the southwest. I posted this pic because it is the best example of thin flat sandstone that I have found, andā¦.itās in Texas.
good to hear from you and hope you are weathering the storms well.
best regards

Hello Deducer,It was reportedly Phil Leasman, Travis's uncle, who did the chimney carvings.
Hello Deducer,
Reported by whom?
Was Phil also the one who carved Travis Tumlinson's name on the chimney stones? Or did Travis do that later? Or...?
Sounds like a family who liked to do some carving in stone for sure.
Do you know what Travis and Phil were up to down around Black Point?
you can check Travis family history, Robert is a common name, birth date & place born mightHave you heard of Robert Tumlinson?
