For your next trip... There’s a megalithic tripod (a large stone, more or less triangular in at least two dimensions, set on three smaller but still good-sized stones) right up on Lookout Mountain, in the tourist trap area. It’s attributed to glaciers, but that’s clearly b.s.
Those “tripods” are called dolmens or cromlechs, among other things.
Google them.
Cool stuff....:)
In the woods beside my childhood home, there are three nearly rectangular boulders almost the size of “short buses” arranged in a triangle.
You can duck down and squeeze through a gap between two of them.
The dirt is tamped down and nothing grows there, not even moss.
I used to play in it as a kid and people have tried to tell me that “a glacier did that”.
Seems like it must have been a really determined and meticulous glacier, to me.
Thanks!
I hope I get there again. If we know of such things on any of our trips (one reson we drive places, not fly) we go outof our way to visit.
One of my big regrets is that an acqauintance, who was a friend of Barry Fell, died before we could get to New Mexico to be taken by him to several confidential locations of petroglyphs. Most were on remote private land, but he knew the owners, and was quietly cataloguing & recording them.
Our pastor, who knew both Fell and Gene, is how I was introduced to the possibility of an invitation.
