I've saved a lot of photo's in my computer, and backed them up on CD's and thumb drives. The problem is there are so many of them, and they are in so many different places, and when I started saving photos there weren't many and recovery was easy. Now there are hundreds saved on media that doesn't allow much of a title, so when looking for a specific photo it can be a daunting task, especially to an old fhardt that isn't particularly techy. I was looking for a different photo when I found these, and they relate to a previous post of mine telling about my favorite bowl which I'd found on our property in Atascadero, CA. I have more photos, and in relation to the Salinain Indian camp on the property there is a picture of a large rock that was obviously work other than nature. It was too big for me to take with me when we sold and moved, but the last time I was by the place that rock was gone. Enough talking, more photos.

The rocks took up over an acre and were probably 40 to 50 feet above the level of the land. The fourth picture is of the strange rock. This rock certainly didn't just happen, but what it was made for is beyond me, but it took a lot of work with primitive tools, and the guy must have been a real artist. The fifth picture is just an enlargement of the carving, the next is some of the points I found on the place, and finally the location of where the objects were. I can't remember the number of the bedrock mortars, but there were over 2 dozen, and there might have been as many as 50.

Venison won't cut it, I need ponies, it would be like selling my daughter, horses, you have to come up with horses. Trouble is, the trade would fall through, because I can't afford to feed the number of ponies it would take.
 

........sounds like me,I lost a great many of the pics I did take,and recently had a computer crash but had a bunch of pictures backed up,so now looking for one turns into a treasure hunt!!
 

Hi BosnMate ,.Man!! ,. been enjoying all your post here the past month or so ,. they seem to be more of a "full concept" type of post ,.makes for a nice read .:thumbsup:
Anyway ,. not so often were treated to post/ artifacts from the west cost ,..hmmm ? ..west of the Rockies for that matter ??
And as for that "strange rock" ,...It's very apparent that this is the beak & cheek of Woody Woodpecker ,..YES ,..a fragment off a 50 ft statue of Woody Woodpecker !! So ,. "strange rock's" arn't so odd ,.. long as you don't apply any common sence in there explanation ,.:tongue3:

Thanks again ,. keep 'em coming !! Joel
