04 ftThat explains the 40 ft error
04 ftThat explains the 40 ft error
goto your ATM and kiss it good bye. Here is why. I'll play along. The Forest Service does this because they do not want 40k hikers looking for it and destroying everything around it looking for artifacts. It's that simple. it is no different than this: except possibly near or around this Marker.Actually now that you mention it I think that rock formation on the left side must be the marshmallow man! I can see it now, the government must have wiped this location off the map to hide his location, now you are the only person that knows his location. Hopefully all the other hikers in the area don’t stumble across him and wake home up. I’d pay 10k to witness it
I found my notebook, but my wife is down for the night. I'll see where she wrote them It's a leather bound heavy old Parchment Paper so my eyes and such just maybe missing it.Finding lat/long with a compass is probably beyond your capabilities is you're new at navigation. Your best bet would be to use a GPS. I'm not saying it can't be done with a compass, but you'd have to triangulate your position and then plot that on a map. Maps are plotted on a true north standard and compasses work off magnetic north. If you look along the edge of topographic maps you'll see a scale that shows the difference in degrees between magnetic north and true north (its called deviation). If you have a good compass like a Silva Ranger you can dial in the deviation so you don't have to calculate it manually. After the deviation is adjusted you'll need to be able to see and identify two terrain features (maybe a mountain and a lake) that you can also identify on the map. Sight along your compass to the first feature and rotate the compass dial until the arrows are pointed at magnetic north. Without moving the dial lay the edge of the compass on the same feature on the map and move the compass body until the straight lines on the compass dial line up with the N/S straight lines on the map. Draw a line with a pencil along the compass edge. Repeat this process with the second terrain feature. Where the two lines you've drawn on the map cross is your approximate position. You should then be able to use the lat/long shown on the map to mark your position. As I said, GPS is much easier.
If not, then we are done.
well, I hope this helps...Darn, you caught me, I'm just an idiot troll.![]()
So you took the picture 120ft away.
I love to play comparison pictures.
Here is your 40ft Pyramid. View attachment 2127018
Now here is a barn picture.
Also taken from about 120ft away.
The midway point of the peak/or the top of the granary wall is 40ft.
The knuckle of the 40ft lift is shown.
So I know what 40' was on the structure.
I think still you need to realize that your Pyramid looks like a tent in comparison. View attachment 2127019
I'll share with you what I told your buddy
If I want any Lip from you Catfish... I will just rattle my zipper. Understand didn't use any math.
It was intentional, Rattle RattleYou should work on your photoshop skills, this is terrible
Agree, this wasn't for any kind of treasure quest, Just pure enjoyment in the hunt.One thing for sure: If it's on Federal Land just look at the thing. They don't want you messing with their stuff and if you, dig, scratch, anything they can throw you in the clink. Old term for jail. And if they know its there, are there trail cameras in the trees to catch you? I never mess with federal, state property or such. I have cameras at my house, there are cameras EVERYWHERE now.
