An Inherited Puzzle

Florida Peak North.

"Florida" in New Mexico? I cannot find the spider hole in the top photo. Maybe it's another Skinwalker portal.

The angle of the sun striking it is from the east in your pic, from the west in mine. Direct sunlight washes out the formation in yours.
 
Maybe things are coming back to me. Just had a couple thoughts for what it's worth, if anything. Those two mounds with the "eyes" on the right side of the sketch kinda reminds me of what Sappo (Frog) Canyon in the Cookes Range looks like from the south. Also, the zigzag arrow thing at the top right seems to connect to a figure with an arm and a head towards center right. This might match Happy Man at the Pony Hills petroglyph site, also in the Cookes Range. I know we're talking about the Floridas here, but . . .

So I’m guessing you are implying this is somehow connected to something in the Cookes? I’m not familiar with the locations you are pointing to. Do you have photo examples for comparing?

This site on Florida Peak held some significance for my friend. Enough that they chose to bring me here on a last request. Somehow I don’t believe I was sent on a wild goose chase to the Cookes. 🤔

Edit* I’ve just been asked privately if my friend was Roger Snow, and no, I’ve never spoken to him. This has nothing to do with him, though I suspect that’s where you got your notes.

Anyone have an opinion on this feature? I have an idea but would like other opinions first.

Not really, even though I sense you would enjoy being a burr under my saddle. My feelings aren’t hurt so easily, that’s just wishful thinking on your part.

Not interested in the Cookes, or alleged tunnels, or just about anything you’ve just described. You seem to have some difficulty sticking to the subject, which is this particular spot. I’ve asked for opinions on the photos, yet you’ve beat all around the bush and not offered a single thought on them except for revealing their location. I’d already mentioned there was NA, Spanish, and mining history, but thank you for fleshing that out (useless as it is in regards to the photos). Maybe I wasn’t clear enough on what I meant, so thanks for digging up your notes and diagram but I’d rather have your opinion on the subject matter in the photos if you don’t mind.
Oh, OK, just the photos. There is only one slam dunk "subject matter" here, IMO. Your first photo.

The ridge's sky outline would be a great landmark to search for. It's the highest point around, with a distinct triple-lobed volcanic neck. If it was carefully sketched on a map or waybill, most observers would likely be able to identify it in the field. Is it a destination or a landmark? No way to tell without more information.

Yes, you've zoomed on a distinctive weathered pattern in the second photo. The slip plane jointing seems to align with the ridge's directional pattern of cracks.

Photo three. Maybe a couple pareidolia faces I guess, if you squint.

I have no idea if there's a link between the Floridas and the Cookes Range. I guess it wouldn't be surprising, as they're only separated by 30 miles.

Sappo, a closer view. Don't have a photo from further south.

The information I've provided here (sketch, notes) came from a Deming native, not Roger Snow. None of the information I've accumulated from the Cookes Range came from Roger Snow. The photos I've posted here were taken by me.

Thank you. I agree, it would make a great landmark. Not sure of all the other jargon but get the general inference that in your opinion it’s all entirely natural. Fair enough.

Lol, yes, there are several pareidoliac figures in the third photo, as there are everywhere you look. A common occurrence, for that matter I think I’ve seen some examples of Pareidolia in your own searches that you claim were used to direct your sight in the proper direction, correct?

Speaking of Pareidolia, what do you see circled in my last photo?
I see what resembles a NA elevated burial.

Just because a natural rock formation looks like something familiar to most people doesn't mean it can't be used as a landmark. If it's very obvious as a lookalike, it can be as useful as a carved arrow. But it has to be an obvious no-brainer lookalike to just about everyone. Here's what I mean - the Kneeling Nun at Santa Rita del Cobre.

To me, that thing in your last photo kinda looks like a cigar store Indian standing on a square platform tipped over to the right onto a slab of rock.

Did your people give you any idea why this place was important? You don't need to say why - just curious if you have any idea what you're looking for.

Also, I realize you were referring to your friends sketch in relation to a figure with a lightning bolt being similar to something in the Cookes Range, but I noticed this on my photos and wonder if it relates? It’s half in shadow but stands out as if painted? Or maybe I’m just falling for the Pareidolia.

Honestly, I do not. I have the photos and accompanying notes/directions. But no clue what I’m to find. Without disclosing personal information all I can say is that my task was twofold. I have no problem accomplishing the first, but not a clue what to look for on the second. It was inferred that I would understand once here, and that’s what I’m trying to do with this post. Obviously I’m missing something and thought maybe the community here, of which they were once a part, might shed some light. That’s about it.
 
Nice sdcfia you new me an HG were close you better watch what I pull out of my hat.Your on a fishing expedition are you still with that same crew.I can tell you me an HG spent time in NM but for now I will keep the hat on.
1) I don't know who "HG" is. Or care.
2) Fishing? Except for the alleged Apache escape cave, I have no interests south of I-10 in NM.
3) What "crew"?

I thought that was what his book was done on, "Fishing", that you sent sandy1 (you bought or acquired), & then at my request & your nod, he sent to me, right before I went out to Montana last August.
I never have opened the package yet, because I thought it was just going to be too boreing. But now the reale fishing I always have time to enjoy, when not researching Spanish Treasure Vault sites...

Man, don't get too caught up with pareidolia visions. I am very prone to pareidolia and I see them everywhere. Many/most people don't notice them at all without help. The point is that these things are only important to look for if they're immediately obvious to almost everyone. Hell, I see seven faces in your photo at first glance. It's a distraction, non-productive.

What. In. The. Hell.
Was that about?

Get a grip gentlemen, we’re not talking double ought seven here, it’s a pile of rocks for goodness sake.

Maybe I’ve chosen the wrong place or time for this discussion. Thanks to all for you interest but I’ve got things to do and a short time to do them. I don’t have the time or inclination for this.

Why leave now, the water's not even gotten hot yet, thermostat still holding. I personally hope you're able to accomplish your tasks satisfactorily, safely & in peace. Just be wary of those that think & believe there are NO manmade signs to be seen,
