Leaving the Warner Mountains, we journeyed east to the Warner Lakes in Oregon. I've completed the story and photos and it is posted to our blog that can be found here -

We hope this is still fun for you to follow along!

Lots of great rock art.

Frank, we don't know the length and could only imagine the amount of work it took with careful stacking of the stones. Someone sure knew what they were doing to build it. Thanks for the kind comments. More to come!

Ok, you got me curious. I measured it using google earth. Approximately 400 feet of length, nearly contains 1/3 of an acre.

Your trip reports are great, and have occasionally turned into my trip planning, plus I always get hours of fun trying to tease out your route on Google maps.

 

This trip is no exception, I've found the stone corral and what I believe is the spot where the Old Stone Bridge crossed the Narrows, but what I really want to know now is what that building up on the ridge to the South East of the Stone Bridge is? It looks like some kind of green house out in the middle of nowhere, and there are two Identical white pickups headed toward it.

 

Secret Government installation? Off grid bug out hide away? Out of the way weed grow facility? I'll probably never know but now I want to go and find out!

slash2, good eye! That's the glass house. Here's one online post that gives some information on it -

Power is back on----and just in time to read this latest  adventure.  Sure wish I was our there with you guys instead of sitting in this smelly smoky place, but guarding the homestead comes first. Those types of walls seem to be a hall mark of the Northern Basin, some books say the Chinese or Basque built them, but ask any Indian and they say they did; it was depending on location, probably all of the before mentioned. Sure looks like some fine country to adventure in with lot's of neat things to do and see and if the access was better me thinks the area would be in allot worse shape! Did some work years ago up on some of those northern high land-nice and pristine stuff.More places to WTW in-sure hope those new bionic body parts are ready soon !  Again thanks for taking us along!
