Got to admit, they would work a lot better than survey stakes and monuments! It sure begs the question of by whom, and when were they built?

If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Who knows, but I can think of a lot of less labor intensive ways to mark property. Might be fun to organize a trip down there, camp at Pancho's and go
out exploring from there. Pancho may know of a way to get into that area. If not the halibut fishing off Pancho's beach is really good.
Off grid, 12-190 watt evergreen solar panels on solar trackers, 2-3648 stacked Outback inverters, 610ah LiFePo4 48v battery bank, FM 60 and MX60
Outback charge controllers, X-240 Outback transformer for 240v from inverters, 6500 watt Kubota diesel generator.

I think, to put things in perspective , In the days of old , when people didn't hesitate to do work that most cannot comprehend/fathom and/or refuse
to do today , building a corral or property marker, with the materials nature provided, was a given and not a second thought was wasted on how hard or
inefficient the work necessary was.
Looking close, near the walls, you can see trails . Most likely cattle trails.
That is what I see any how

Those rocks are not light! It was an 'army' effort, on steep hillsides, in the desert... limited or no water to drink.
There needs to be some answer... I was tempted to write to that guy who did the America Unearthed TV series... but he never found any real answers and
I don't think he tried to solve mysteries outside the U.S.?
Baja is a wonderland for these things: strange walls, lost graves, vanished missions... YA!

Nomads left a place called Nasca in South America and headed north for greener pastures. When they arrived at this place in the far north they started
in with their craft. Ultimately they realize it's too damn hot and their tribe was lost to the eons.
