A friend was just vacationing near Red Rocks Canyon, Nevada, and shared this pic....knowing I'd like it better than the beautiful scenery. I thought it might be fun to find the Quad map(s) for the area and give it to them as a memento of their vacation. Any surveyors out that way feel like helping a brother out?? thanks.

And here's your payback Andy, another stone picture by Gene. 🙂
The stone is a quartz monzonite porphyry at 12,949.25 (NAVD88) on Mt. Bross. It is Cor. No. 2 of the Silver Saddle Lode, MS 342, originally surveyed on January 26-27, 1879. I can only imagine that the well chiseled stone was Dep. Morse's way to stay warm. Brrrrr!
