Last week, while prepping the grounds for lot #4, at The Keys, I collected some stones from below the surface, just back of the bunkhouse. After washing the dirt away, I noticed a hole in one of the stones, a stone that will, later, prove to share characteristics with the Cornerstone and 33-degree STAR.
So, last week, I went to move the stealth camper and the bunkhouse to the new spot, near the entrance, at the key turnaround. It is one of the few areas at IndianRock.art, where the grade is flat enough to be considered a building spot. This area, christened ‘The Keys’, consist of several small lots. Lot number four is the far most, to the southeast. It is nestled within the young trees, brambles, and such. A path of ancient stones, scattered about, leads down from #4, into the ravine, thought to be a very old rock quarry.
Up top, there is an all-embracing old oak in the center of the key, where the lots set lining the ridge, east to west. After traversing the camper and bunkhouse to this area, I chose #4 as their new resting place.
To level the bunkhouse, I used cinderblocks and had to level some dirt and stone in order to get them plumb. In the process, I removed a dozen stones. In the spirit of ‘leaving no stone unturned’, I collected them for analysis.
After washing the dirt away, I noticed a hole in one of the stones. “How peculiar”, I thought. So, I checked to see if I could locate the stones that were used to create this hole. …a few hours later.
After some inspection, and as before, I believe the surrounding stones are a mixture of carved representations, stone tools, and variants of the two, and that they are the very tools that carved into the very same set of stones. Of course, I’ve only completed a partial preliminary inspection of these 12 stones and less of lot #4, so I could be wrong.
When I focus on the path of Christ, the path provides for my focus. -paul
