Some of the most reknowned archeologists of all time were little more than enthusiasts when they made their big discoveries.

I think you missed the point of farmboy's question, although he wasn't very direct about it. What I interpeted from his question was a challenge of sorts namely: If those rocks existed and you knew of their location, why haven't you formally reported their existence and challenged the scientific community with your findings?

I think Farmboy has made a similar discovery and he was commiserating!

It does no good to challenge some theories, because there are just too many willfully blind people out there. Besides that, we moved when I was about 12. Haven't been back since, but the farm is still there. Given about five minutes and weather warm enough for wading, I could have you walking in those prints. I do remember they were small, both the human and equine. My feet fit well in the prints, they weren't much bigger than mine-of course they could have been a child's prints. :) The equine tracks weren't much bigger than those of my pony-probably why I noticed them in the first place. We had a huge pasture/woods and if my pony got a whiff of bridle, he was gone. I learned to track pretty well!

Becaaaause, unless you have a Ph.D after your name you have no credentials and cannot get a hearing. This phenomena is closely related to the 'Not Invented Here' syndrome. No academic is going to listen to a layman or quote them.
