What are these things?
A few miles south of Playa Requeson is an abandoned or sometimes abandoned fish camp with these piles of rocks. They are about 3 feet high and 6 feet
across. They are very carefully put together with larger rocks on the outside and filled to the top with smaller rocks on the inside all tightly
packed together. A few are surrounding trees some are free standing. Made by bored fishermen? What are they?

Tables for cleaning the scallops, when there was a hundred pangas out on the bay cleaning it out.

If they were cleaning tables, where are all the shells? I would expect to see shell middens either around or close by.
The island at Requeson is covered with shell middens but no stone tables.

I really shouldn't be bitter about them cleaning out the bay, because I had more than my share of those scallops, they were the sweetest best tasting
I have ever eaten.

If Pompano doesn`t know............he has been here longer than anyone.
Could they be pilings or footings for a construction project?

I have also seen those and wondered what they were. We almost camped there one time.
Have you noticed that all along the highway and byways there are little piles of rocks. Now I know that is an indio way to mark a trail but, I
think, that some I have seen are simply where someone had car trouble, got bored and started making sculptures. You see them in the weirdest
places...just a stack of rocks, usually quite nicely balanced.

I'm going back to cleaning tables for the scallops, and the reason no shells they hauled them all off to make calcium tablets. We know there was
thousands of pangas gathering the scallops, they had to be cleaned, with that many boats there would be shell mounds all over that area. And they are
not there.

^Tables, if you look closely they are scallop shells laying around. If your thinking cow tethers I don't think so.

Don't forget it wasn't a cattle ranch, it was a scallop farm.

No Pompano not Pyramids, whats that got to do with cattle. I think you being in an earlier time zone have had yours, and your getting fuzzy. Ya when
you coming home, you'll get snowed in and never make it down.

I have often wondered as well about rocks piled in out of the way spots, graves are easy to Id but what about this wall south of Bahia de Los Muertos
towards Boca del Alamo??
