That is interesting. Any backstory on how that rock came to be there with that track?

The best theory is that the dry lake bed becomes more slippery during wetter times and that the winds can then push the rocks along slowly but surely.

Many people have gone out there, some even living out there for short spells. I don't think anyone has actually seen a rock move, but I could be wrong about that.

Read a different theory couple months back that frost/condensation was enough to freeze around the rock at night and cause “expansion” in the soil up to about an inch into the soil hence moving the rock (very, very) a little at a time. Still doesn’t explain why one direction is usually observed however..
