Don't be surprised if there have been some venting / ash flows coming from Mount Baldy and nearby fault lines that may pass by the fall's areas etc. over the 11-million-year timeframe. The far away volcanoes may or may not even be connected it is your job to piece the answers together.

Not sure why there was a double quote on the first click so I have gone back and corrected.

Geological reports classify Mt Baldy as a nonvolcanic, uplifted tectonic peak, not an active volcano.

Question is how did the 6-10 thousand pound boulders make it over a 5 thousand ft mountain ? and end up at 2K feet where my Claim is lol. Its a River not a Creek lol.

I'm not able to give an answer. My question is did the 6–10-thousand-pound boulders all come down a river / creek or did the boulders come out somewhere else?

There are many 'non active volcanos' around the world at this current time. Just an uplift can be connected to small volcanic activity in a general formation over many millions of years. It appears that the photos do show some such activity at some point.

I'm sure most of what I see came from the mountains that surround my claim. The Mojave River flows on my claim but before it dose it travels a great distance underground before it pops up on my claim.

Perhaps that is the connection. In looking at the photos attached on your first post, around wetter parts of the USA. most would refer to the photos as a creek size flow in current time / day.
If you happen to learn that the boulders may have come from somewhere else let us know and post some pictures if you can.

Bed rock or no bedrock I'm happy with what I find right where I find it lol.

Looks good to me.

I mean this in no way demeaning, but I admire your satisfaction working and counting colors. That might just be background static. There could be chunks sitting.in every low puddle on the bedrock. It does happen.

At least check on the less overburden areas on top of the bedrock for a few of the puddle deposits that nature may have settled there.

Are you trying to tell us you never read the book of noah and the hill climbing vortex waterspouts?

How about pyroclastic density currents and pyroclastic surges?

Ask yourself is a typical smaller creek / river going to move the boulders you describe up over the mountain and drop 2K feet to your Claim area?
Are there other forces that nature can use to move the boulders you describe this type of distance?

It’s called glacier transport. Let’s also remember that these mountains were forced upwards over time. It’s entirely possible to have ancient river deposits or ocean shoreline thousands of feet up on a ridge top. Then there is massive earthquake induced liquefaction mudflows. Nature is so dang powerful.

That's it glacier transport ty for that forgotten force of nature lol.

There may be a simple answer at the bedrock level.

Yep @Tesorodeoro is spot on in regards to ancient glaciers moving these massive boulders its called "Erratics" and says these boulders are non-native that is crazy lol.

The rock-nados will drop out at some point perhaps a vent exit?

I will add this part of the Mojave River moves massive boulders that weigh upwards of 10 thousand pounds or more.

How deep is the Mojave River underground?
Do the Mojave River waters go down to magma levels of rock?
I'm sure there is more questions to ask that I have missed here.
