Another mystery wall? Circles?


Yes, it's out in nowheresville but not too far from B. Animas. Now this looks like a drift fence.

Many of us have been near this place but it can't be seen from any road. Anyone know where it is?

Actually......Ron...drift fences (in certain places) help to minimize blowing powder on roadways. The drift accumulates on the lee side.

I can't begin to guess the location...
