I checked back, the center of the triangle is at 315 degrees from the eye, which is a quadrant bearing. The spots where the lines cross is at 300 degrees and about 123 feet from the eye.
Most of the hoyos , especially the long range ones will be on 15 degree increment bearings to what they are pointing out. Common ones are 270/90 (east west) 330/150, 240/60 , 210/30, and quadrants like the 315/135 and 45/225 or even a half quad of 202.5/22.5 which is a very common one from a mariner's compass.
If you were you to look thru the eye it would look something like this ( I blackened out what would be the shape of the hoyo over the photo).
View attachment 1427245The given spot is on the left tip, the triangle would be seen in the center of the hoyo. Again I couldn't catch this exact position with my camera it kept going out of focus and I eventually gave up on it.
Mdog, some of these hoyo monuments are showing spots that are a mile or more away. Not all will be 15 degree bearings, but most will , or at least the main spot it was set to point out. Many will have a couple extra places they show. Sometimes the hoyo monuments are marked by a turtle head looking out over the canyon, but there are many variations I have seen.
I have not seen a cache site that did not have the alignments as of yet, just remember that sometimes they go a little ways from the crisscross spot within 50 feet (but not always, the entrance can be right on the crisscross spot) this is why the crisscross spot is usually marked well so they can find that important single bare spot, even if it is to go from.

Can you tell use how you tell if you dig at the crisscross spot or a little ways away?
If you dig a little ways away how do you know how far and which way do you go?
