Mystery Art – 4-Corners

“According to the BBC, Google Earth imagery shows that it appeared some time between August 2015 and October 2016.”

If the theory that it was a Westworld prop is true, then that episode should have already aired.  Someone search through all the Westworld episodes : )

@obxcola give us the coordinates. I sent pm but no response, whats up?

Working all day. Last time I checked was @ this time yesterday. Anyway I’ll send it on soon. Geezz.

Hey it’s front page on the New York Times right now.

What’s your address I’ll send you turn by turn directions from google. Pack your bags  ;-)

OK pm sent

Also sent in an easier format just now

Here’s the ones for the Menhir
38°20’35.06”N
109°39’58.06”W

I went there and could not find it

Did you see the other site I sent?

Did you see the coordinates on the bottom right of the photo I posted. I searched all over the area. In the photo ypou can see a small road on the right, take a ride over there and see what you can find. Can you take some screen shots of the Menhir?

I did not go to the other coordinates yet. Waiting to hear from you on the Menhir site.

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:

This shot is as close as I can get:

Keep in mind this is the terraine that were looking for:

What an amusing thought: multiple menhirs!

Greg, no footprints leading to the banana…..somebody from bpl put it there, someone light on their feet ;)

no footprints leading to the banana…
I had the impression that the floor was sheet rock, not sand?

Your impression is incorrect.

Foot prints made by helicopter pilots:

OK, no worries. I am ‘usually’ wrong.
But that photo does look like a thin layer of sand on sheet rock. Perhaps very well compacted sand instead?

Cheers

Ah, but WHY?

never mind.

i got my images confused.

will try again.

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?

It’s Gone …

Yes that was another option. The :-)).  Goat

And disappearance verified. Shows how easy it was to get to. Finders Keepers kind of country.

Fun while it lasted. Somebody maybe figures they’ve got themselves a McCracken. Heck if nothing else a good way to get it removed. Claim it’s a McCracken.
