Thanks Joe, not bad I guess for a point and shoot cell phone camera. I'm just glad you gave me the coordinates before I took off or I would not have found it. I had thought it was located next to the Pony Express monument. patrick On 31 Mar 2011, at 23:35, Joe Bauman wrote:

The Long/Lat coordinates Joe supplied were spot on so finding the place was pretty straight forward.
I had not thought to bring my DSLR along so the only thing I had onboard to take pictures with was my iPhone.
Here's an annotated shot:

Perhaps you've heard of the Nazca Lines? Well, once I got on the ground and looked at the pictures I noticed what could pass as "Pit n Pole Lines" just to the east of the site. It looks to me like the outline of some sort of blob-like creature sneaking over to catch unknowing astronomers off guard after dark. :)
