Too Hot to Dig...

[seekeroforo]

Is the lichen covering anything that you can tell?

Seeker,

lichen covers most everything on the lower stand alone rock. I tend to think there may be an entire story on the rock...however after the lashing I got last time I showed one of these "monument" rocks I will not encourage any free will responses. (but it ain't in me to discourage you from pointing out what you find, cause if its free choice on whether someone follows where ever we end up) Later alligator!

Hey OR,
At the 12:00 position in the new picture is an R I each has what looks like a pull mark.
This is a Spanish trick. These may indicate a direction as they are both the same (use your compass)
as for the numerical value of the letters... "R"=21, and "I"=1 for a total of 22.
22 30 inch paces in the direction the pull marks indicate.

Reply: To Hot To Dog:

I would strongly suggest you do NOT DIG WHERE ALL THE FACES ARE LOOKING AT THE GROUND; THE SITE GIVES ME THE BAD FEELING OF A DEATH TRAP!!!

Shortstack: your recnogization of Symbols #4 June 11 is outstanding. You're welcome to go tracking with me any time.

As for Too Hot To Dig: You do not want to dig there, or you will end up in a place with a shovel and a pile of coal; or upstairs playing a Harp.

OD,

Thanks for joining in. There was indeed another marker about where you are thinking. (you could spot it from there) There was also one in the opposite direction. Of course they then give more than one possible path. (try to lead you astray) But then, if they were all simple and easy, it would not leave much for us to search for.

Barton,

Welcome aboard. Any and all comments welcome. Seems there are some death traps in the area...one was sprung year before last. I have a before pic somewhere. If I can find it I will show the before/after for every ones benefit. I do not believe I am being shown to dig directly under either rocks pictured. If you dig where every head looks, you are in for a whole lot of digging. (been there/done that years ago)
All the marks/signs/symbols will not lead us to treasure...(as much as we would like) If I get to choose then I already chose the harp topside....already too hot to dig...can only imagine shoveling coal
If you have not already done so, I would suggest going back and reading as many of the old threads as possible. There is more good info to be had here than in most books that I have read.(more than one)

Bit,

Some signs are meant to be viewed from a certain distance....some from 1/4 or 1/2 mile or more in the open country of the SW. In more covered country think a whole lot closer. Maybe only 15-20 ft. In either area if you get too close it tends to disappear. In the closer country a sign or symbol may morph into something else in 3 paces or so. Sometimes it is intentional sometimes, maybe not. They are very tricky. A person usually will have to see something like this for themselves before they can believe. Boots on is the term.

There are false trails involved with many Spanish things.
The pull marks on those letters tells you where the trail goes. and in what direction.
That Dog on the other side that EE saw first tells you a special message as well.
Read up on expeditions to your area and the personal lives of the expedition leaders.
That dog was special to one man in particular.
there isn't any dig here marks.

Bit,

You are at least partially right. Nothing I have posted so far is meant to be viewed from 1/4 mile or farther. Nothing I have posted so far is meant to be viewed from 12 inches or less either. Refer to my statement of 15-20 feet or a little more or a little less?

I do remember the link you referred to with your pics. Those are great pics. In that area I would venture the 15-20 feet may apply. (farther the bigger the rock or mark) What you refer to as geofacts my be exactly that...unless you spot the same design nearby/perhaps larger... then that was your confirmation that you should view it as a sign/symbol. If removed for the old rock garden you then loose. (Sometimes you may draw a sight line thru the confirmation marker to the actual marker for your line of travel)

 

[oddrock]

Old Dog,

I pretty much agree with each point you have made. The reason I referred to the 1, as a 7 is I tried a 1, a I, a Y and they did not fit in this case. As a 7 with a pull mark to the right it seems to fit. That will take you eventually to the pic I first posted. Also on both trails I found a sitting place (resting) in the form a large rock lazy-boy chair. That also seemed to go with a 7 although this one is a little open.

Oddrock:
The tree's shade isn't the problem; the lichen is, so I played with the photo a bit. Still pretty hard to decipher, but you can tell that there are a LOT of small symbols carved into this rock face. I circled (and one square) some areas of what looks like symbol clusters. That one figure I tagged looks like a hummingbird and the one next to it kinda, sorta, looks like a cowboy (conquistador) spur. I didn't spot the "7" someone mentioned.

Hey mannings..you can comment on my pics anytime! I have no ego when it comes to such. Oddrock it gets curiouser and curiouser.
Thanks

 

[jimmyvegas]

Did anyone see the hummingbird in the middle of the photo?

We accomplish a lot more putting our heads together. Have a great day!

Old Dog,

Woke up this morning (that's a good sign) thinking about your reply#22. In the past I may not have eliminated your point 100% as presented. I intended to try and do that (or confirm it!) next chance I get. In agreement on the man and the dog. Also believe the man with the pig is hanging around.

 

[oddrock]

Shortstack,

Thanks for the observations. The oak in the way was a reference to the other pic. This is a different set, but on the same trail.

Jimmyvegas,

Welcome aboard and thanks for the observation.

Oddrock:
I was drawn back to this photo because of some shadow points. After playing with the lighting and shadow forms, I sat back away from the computer monitor to get a clearer look. That large shadow area resembles owl forms I've seen in other people's photos and that full profile of the eagle really came out. The outline of the eagle's beak and it's chest outline sorta of drew the bird out.
There is also a lion's face up by the eagle's head.

 

[oddrock]

Shortstack,
I have turned the house, the barn, the ole lady, and anything else I can think of upside down looking for a bunch of pics I seem to have lost. I have at least one that shows the whole lower rock and a lot clearer. Will check with my partner and see if I left them at his place. Will post asap. Thanks for the input!

 

[okiedowser]

Just looking at the rock ,to see what i might see, this here look like it might meen something.
