has noted an interesting site worthy of some exploration. The Google Earth images I captured as screenshots, and Mr. Kesselring's photo of the site, show its location in Deering Canyon, as well as some closer-up ground detail.
In Mr. Kesselring's photo, I've highlighted the primary anomaly with a red ellipse, and a secondary anomaly with an orange ellipse. As Mr. Kesselring points out in his DesertUSA Summary page, the primary anomaly appears to be a rectangular excavation surrounded by vegetation. The secondary anomaly, as I see it, seems to be a circular pit.
If anyone can make the trip to this site, and can share their observations, complete with photos, it would be much appreciated. I think making the effort would not be a waste of time. I must add, however, that such a trip would be at least three days in duration, at an absolute minimum.
If it is not possible to reach the rectangular excavation, and see what is inside it, the next best approach would be to take photos from the opposite side of the canyon. To do this with good results, the sun must be located such that the canyon ledge that is being photographed is not concealed by shadows.
