Does anyone know if there is any truth to the story the Forest Service uses different patterns/colors of surveyor tape to mark areas of historical/archaeological importance? I have heard of this over the years but just last week I was quad riding in a remote area near Cultus lake and saw something "red" setting on a rock in the distance away under a rock outcropping. I looked at it with binocs and I could see it was a taped wrapped rock. I walked out to it and found a rock wrapped with red surveyor tape with an "A" marked on it with a sharpie. This was fresh tape and intended to mark something. A quick look around revealed several very old cans and a broken glass jar with a piece that had the "Quaker Oats" symbol on it. I may have to head back out there and do some MD'ing.
