Here’s the ones for the Menhir
38°20’35.06”N
109°39’58.06”WI went there and could not find it
Let’s try 4 steps or so Start below the ‘o’ in “so” horizontally and around the ‘r’ in “Outer” vertically
In the last you can clearly see the shadow of the menhir. Once you get ‘there’ you can zoom further and circle round. Could you find the other site BTW?
I found your location but an angle view does not match the terrain where the pilots found the stainless steel Menhir. I swirled around the area of the black line(shadow) and the terraine is not what were looking for.
This is angle view of it:
Greg, no footprints leading to the banana…..somebody from bpl put it there, someone light on their feet ;)
I had the impression that the floor was sheet rock, not sand?
Your impression is incorrect.
Foot prints made by helicopter pilots:
Dan maybe we should begin negotiating the terms/conditions of a wager. Loser buys 2 RT tickets from O’Hare to Albuquerque, 4 nights at the Recapture lodge in Bluff Utah. Winner pays for the rental car and 2 dinners for 4, once at the Comb Ridge in Bluff and second at the Range Cafe on Menaul in ABQ. Something like that?
Edited to add Roger it’s sandstone. Also the level bed of rock after or below a mostly or somewhat washed out higher level. The harder level remains. The washed out upper levels contribute……yep sand. When the hole was cut to place the menhir that created more sand. So there’s sand on that solid rock bench. There’s sand on almost every solid rock bench in that area. If you had google earth and followed this particular drainage south a few hundred meters it fans out into a big sandy wash.
Very typical terrain for the region. At one point in time the whole area was below an ocean or shallow sea and surrounding uplands eroded and washed into this ocean or shallow sea. This stuff got layered and compressed into stone. Then some sort of tectonic activity pushed it up and now it’s eroding again.
Here’s a view from due north. The upper level or next level up at the green shrub above drainage slot ‘V’ above the menhir shadow is @ 24′ higher than the menhir base per G Earth. You can get the best idea of the slope and verticality of the walls from the shadows. Sunlight coming from SSE @ 165/170?
