Rows and rows and ROWS of stacked rocks?
On the North Road to San Juanico about halfway between San Ignacio and San Juanico - approximate location HERE, there's a section on the north east side of the road where the road gets close to some rocky bluffs/hills. There's a rise in the road as you
go over a slight hill. On the San Juanico side of this rise, there are rows and rows and rows and rows and ROWS of stacked rocks. Probably no more
than 12-18" high, no more than a rock or two wide. Each row is 10'-20' apart from each other. But these rows stretch for a LONG way. I'd guess there
are half a million rocks stacked up here.
Does anyone have any idea what this is all about? What's the origin or purpose of this? Was someone just REALLY bored?? Aliens?

Looks a bit like the topock maze, though rocks appear to be larger in your find…

In areas where there is fog or high humidity water (dew) collects on stone walls. This occurs because the walls cool off at night and when warm moist
air or fog blows across them they can collect enough water to grow plants.
It works especially well near the ocean or a lake where the prevailing wind is from the water.
Passably that was tried here? That said it doesn't seem to have worked.

That's part of what I was told. The other is that over time, blowing dirt gets trapped in the troughs to provide a place for grasses to grow when it
rains so the cows have more to eat.

An attempt at erosion control? To help propagate native plants by retaining rain water longer? Though seems an odd locale given there isn't much
growing in the vicinity. Coming from that light colored blaze on the hill above, is that a trough? To funnel and direct more rain water more
directly onto the terraces? Interesting.

I know for sure where it comes from. When I travelled to exo-planet wwwXY4711glow, long before Mr Branson and Mr. Bezos flew to the edge of space
spreading more CO2 into the atmosphere than all old Diesels in Taxas combined in one year, those aliens told me that they are claiming responsibility
for those rows of rocks on earth. Reason for that is. There is a competition going on on exo-planet wwwXY4711glow. The one who can stack the most
rocks in under 10 minutes, will be the king and can marry the most beautiful alien bride ever. As they do not have enough rocks on exo-planet
wwwXY4711glow, some of the competitors went to mars. Others to moon. And others to earth.
The competition is still going on and earthlings can participate, I was told. BTW I used biofuel for my trip. Made from kitchen leftovers.

David, I was waiting on the question: What the heck has that to do with Baja? Simple answer is: The aliens told me they selected Baja, because of
BajaNomad. They knew there will be a discussion about it. And? They are
smart! See this thread.
