    Menhir-cum-gatepost

    This must be a menhir? It’s 7ft tall, I regularly walk past it and always wonder. It is a beautiful stone.

    Found this stick figure in the Verde Valley, AZ

    So where I found this it’s about 1-2 miles from Crane Petroglyph Heritage site. This stick figure cannot be matched from other petroglyphs in the area. I am curious if anyone has information on this type of stick figure.
