dsty i like you am self taught, then I read Kenworthy and seen what he saw. A few years ago I was driving a old road which was probably the real Camino El Reale or however it is pronounced. I spoted a eye cathcher and figured out a trail into it. From ther I started seeing lizards(turtles) and hearts. It lead to a series of camps and work areas all loaded with trail sign. I tried to follows others post here, but there was just to much sign . I had to back off and it took me years to see the different trails. When you posted those land markers you can see from ge I started looking for them too. But the mystery of how and why they would put energy and time into carving large signs in very hard rock. I also started to see patterns. Every now and then I would figure out something or even get help from a tnet member. There are some sharp folks out there.
When I realized I also had sun and shadow signs I was really hooked. I now spend as much time as my health allows looking at rocks. I have explored a few cavity's and found maps nearby. Some of the stuff I show is easily seen, because I tool pictures every ten steps then took them home and worked on them sometimes for months.
I tried to get help here local and ended up giving the location of my site away. But as I have said before, I can stand most folks in front of I show you and you wont see it till I outline it for you. I have a eye condition that allows me to easily see these weird angles they used. I was working a clover leaf pattern when I started to see the sign off to the side at these angles. I also have noticed some signs that emulates old art.
There does seem to be some common measures used. I do most in my head I dont own a pocket transit. I do see things oriented certain ways also. I also have found chairs and bench's some very ornate that leads me to post what I do about a mirror or flag system. The candle holes I mention had a sulfur smell to them, I wonder if they made gun powder on site?
I take a lot of pains to not disturb anything when I am out. I leave artifacts where they lay. I carry a small amount of equipment to photograph and maybe my next outing I can put some compass orientations. Its so hard here sometimes as folks are so criticle if its not something they agree with. I support all folks, even if I dont see it. I love this stuff guys.
