azmula said:I found some monuments in the Superstitions a few years ago and have finally followed them to some interesting dead ends. I am curious if anyone has run onto anything like them and what they might mean? These monuments are not interpretive as far as I can tell.
There are three large stones on a ledge about 12 feet above the floor of a north trending canyon. On the west wall, the bottom stone points to the opposite wall, with two additional stones ontop laying at 90 degrees to the bottom one. The stones are oblong and weigh about 500-1000 pounds each. Very large stones. I went down the canyon in the direction they pointed 200 varas, turned right and looked 100 varas toward the east canyon wall. 15 feet up on top of a small ledge was a perfectly round stone ball (5-6 feet in diameter), same type of rock as the three stacked but not the same as surronding rock. A hundred feet up the wall was a mine shaft that had been sealed but weathered open. There were signs of considerable ancient mining activity in the area.
In the same area I also found a large notch cut the rim of the canyon just above a long built up road to get down in the canyon. The notch was 15 feet high by 15 wide. It was a very clean job. Standing in the notch I could see what appeared to be two large sealed caves. I haven't tried to open them, yet.
Any thoughts or comments??
