Clayton Ranch Alignment

 

75 yard long curving stacked rock alignment.

 

Elevation 1552 ft.

Clayton Ranch Tsektsel Probable Prayer Circle (tsektsel) Elevation 1520 ft.

 

The prayer circle is a ruin today–its once-stacked rocks likely knocked about by grazing cattle.

 

Mt. Diablo is still there though.

 

 

 

The Blaisdell Trail Rock Alignment

 

Right down the hill along a minor ridgeline lies this ancient buried treasure.

 

Who put it there and why?
