They are saying; "we are a fluke of nature, ignore us".

Just being honest. You may hate me now, but you will thank me later.

They are saying"I'll take a 7 and 7! Maybe with a few of those everything will seem clearer!

Hi TN I was just wondering if you had a chance to try the 65 Degrees. I havent studied much on the confederates and how they may have used symbols. One thing keeps me thinking about this symbol is that 3 points touch the + change direction symbol the first on at 20 Degrees the second one at 45 degrees and the last one wich I would guess to be depicting a river or stream. Then you have the 65 degrees could it be possible that this is leading you to a triangle or 3 different trails to ??? I was...

I agree that it is a directional carving. I don't think they were using veras, because I'm pretty sure the Confederates did this. But you have some interesting points. I will be back out there day after tomorrow. Your 65 degrees is interesting.

I will let you know if it works in the field, or if any of it matches up. Thank you for your time and effort!

Hi TN I studied this for a while and this is the one way that makes the most sense to me as far as a Spanish interpretation> I will add a pic of a drawing to show what I mean First symbol is the > meaning 45 degrees also greater than. Next under this symbol you have the K wich is 20 degrees So the greater than = 65 degrees Next you have the streched looking S which I would guess to be the water or River symbol. Under that you have the abnormal C wich would be 100 or possably 1000 Veras....

I think that is a little high to be on horseback. I think some one got hoisted up there. And yes - that is a name. I need to hoist myself up there to really get a good look at it. I'm not real sure what it is, hard to tell from the ground. Sure is cool looking - ain't it!

I also think - from what I have learned this year - that the Spanish signs were later used by everyone to some degree. So I would not be surprised if this site has some Spanish looking symbols., or...

That is the old Stars and Bars carved up there. The topographical one is if you are looking due North.

I actually think this might just be Spanish. I just don't think the Spanish hid it.

I do think the Confederates found it.

Hi TN the one thats 16 ft. up looks like a confederate flag to me with a name under it. Probably done from horse back.. The one that looks like a topo I would guess to be fairly correct assumption. Topos are done in grids +++ and it may be showing a confederate camp or mine. I have seen the Spanish use this symbol more than once in a simular way. Are you in an area that is noted for the Spanish??? If so I would be happy to give you my oppinion on the spanish meaning. I would definately get...

Following this trail around for the better part of the year. Done wore out my hiking boots too!

There are some other things I've found out there, and I have learned a bit about the history. But those will stay with me until I reach the end - of what seems like an endless trail...LOL

The folks that put this stuff out there must be having a good laugh - watching me hike over all kinds of crap

Real interesting. wonder what the history of that trail is. Me..i would take the simple router - follow the arrows, and check out the ridges and streams and gullies to see if the topo carving matches anything.

The Pictures might be a bit blurry - that would be Operator Error...LOL Some I am sure are newer. Some I am sure are quite old.

This one looks like a toppo reference in the lower right....
