Entrada Formation

This is an example of the Entrada Formation. The Entrada Formation is part of the San Rafael Group. This is the formation that makes up the cute goblins in Goblin Valley Stake Park. The Entrada Formation is also exposed in the western part of Emery County in Utah near the Molen Reef and here on the southern exposure of Cedar Mountain. If you use your imagination you may see some goblins in this photo but nothing really obvious stands out to me. I do find it interesting. I do see a couple of shadows. Could there be a cave there?

Curtis Point

Here is another view of Curtis Point. I posted a couple of views earlier. This one is more of a straight on view. Note the pile of rocks on top of the formation. I can also see a couple of circles that I find interesting. This is a good close up view of this rock art formation.

Yet another mound.

I came to realize that this mound looks a lot like the mound in the post of October 17. This one is apparently much smaller but the shape and colors are similar. Also they are not very far apart geographically.

Mat Warner inscription. Some serious rock art.

Now this is some serious rock art. This isn't Spanish. It isn't Indian. It isn't some teenage midnight party. And it likely isn't Jesuit. But could it me KGC? Are all outlaws KGC? Looks more like a cowboy leaving something for posterity. I know Matt Warner went from outlaw to lawman and was a constable in Price in his later years and maybe this was done at this time. But I choose to associate it with the cowboy in him. It does have a bull in it. But is it code? Why is Matt spelled with just one "t". And does the formation of the letters have some special meaning? Who knows?

Potential burial mound?

I believe this is another potential burial mound. I am not saying that this is a burial mound. But it does look out of place. It has interesting coloration. I see this occasionally in these mounds also.

Dirt bike mound

This is a mound that looks like it has seen a bit of dirt bike action. Looks to me like it has potential for being a burial mound. I see these frequently in the outdoors and I wonder if that is what they are.
