The corner by the road:
The first break in the wall:

Section of wall between first and second breaks:
(all of the 3 features above, together in one photo):
Second break in wall:
The contiguous wall:
Rose colored quartz:
This is #2 (rose colored quartz) with the half meter stick:
(rock to the left of #4 above, taken the day before with no number)
Note the side profile of the standing stone to the left, in the background:
This rock is in the foreground in the picture above:
Note the stone at the top of the wall that is diamond shape, pointing down. I have seen a repeated pattern in this area where a stone is set "up and down" to form something like a pointer rock that points to a gap/space or enclosed niche-like structure below the pointer rock:
This rock is just to the upper left of the standing stone in the prior picture:
These next 2 photos are inside the 'niche' that can be seen to the left of #14 in the photo above.
I didn't number this area because I didn't see any stones of different geology here. However, this construction was interesting to me. When I moved away some of the leaves, there was still a fist sized piece of ice in the leaves here:
Close up of rock at #15:
The next two pictures are of #16 that I took the day before, without numbers. Note, in the first picture, the stone leaning against the wall on the south side of the wall. I did not get a look at that stone yet, since I was doing most of the observing from the north side of the wall.
Here it is with #16 to label this spot:
This area is to the left of #16 and has two very interesting features at the base of the wall - an odd shaped rock and a piece of wood:
Here is where I ran out of numbers:
The wall goes over a boulder or outcrop here:
Note the niche like structure where the wall goes over the outcrop:
Here is another rock of different geology:
This last picture is the only one that I'm not sure where in the sequence it goes, but I liked this because of that huge rock on top of all those smaller ones. I doubt settlers would do this:
So, if you're still looking at all these pictures, thank you! I did this to emphasize how much I really believe this wall was built by Native Americans. This is only about 600 feet of wall with all of these features, and it keeps going. I still have to go back out and follow the rest of the wall up the hill.
