While driving on Hwy 550 north, just outside Durango, CO, I had noticed several flat rocks piled atop eachother. I had seen these rocks dozens of times and
thought they looked quite peculiar. One day, while riding in the passenger seat, I looked up to see a large, flat rock, supported by several smaller ones that
allowed daylight to be seen between them. Here are the pictures. I'm sending them to Whyte Eagle now... (Yes, I know about photobucket...)

Your second picture has details in the rock itself as to the meaning. You have to half close your eyes and such as they are faded and thousands of years old.

Very nice photos! Thanks for those! My first question would be how close to the road is this? Could this have been "placed" when the road was built?
If not, you may have a very interesting spot to check out. You would want to look 360 around the rock and on top of it before you can be sure what it means if
anything.

I believe the rock points towards a spur of the Spanish trail that once went through this area. it is located upon a hillside overlooking the river below, and
points towards Carbon Junction, a faultline trail that leads towards Horse Gulch, which research has shown me was a possible alternate route either traveling
west or east. I will try to post more pics of this rock, for it has dates etched into it from the late 19th century on it's topside. Never would've
thought it was so close to home. Just goes to show you, people usually don't see markers or symbols until they are looking for them...

Hmmm... Seems I can't access these pics on this topic anymore... I believe this is an important monument to be shared and seen by anyone who wants to see
that these supported compass stones/trail markers DO infact exist, are infact close to modern roads and trails, and do point to places of interest further
along the trail... (This one, in fact, points toward the Mummy sculpture I've posted in the past, about a mile north from this trail marker...) I'm
going to re-send a couple of pictures to Whyte Eagle to post under this topic again... Some new ones not seen previously. Enjoy and keep your eyes peeled.

Oops... Poor Whyte Eagle... I sent him some new pictures of the trailmarker, and he accidentally posted them under another post I sent earlier in the evening.
I will e-mail him and try to get them posted back here where they belong. My apologies...
