Welcome, Welcome, Welcome EVERYONE!
I have some wonderful pictures to share with you all from my last hike out! Found a new spot I haven't been to before and was very interested in it!
Unfortunately we have to address somethings because people's minds are so closed off they resort to angry and threatening measures to anyone who doesn't agree with "them" I.E. Bullying!
I want to make this abundantly clear! I am NOT out to ruin these sites by sharing what I've found, by myself without having to take a tour, to see these amazing rock formations! Thusly I never signed anything saying I would not release these sites (as insane as that sounds, it true) I simply used geology and went hiking, they were not hard to find! I also NEVER claimed to be the First to find them, they were just new to me! Oh and "Fred's House" was an inside joke with my father, thanks for doing your homework.
But my rights to share these sites is called FREE SPEACH!
Ill ask once again, what's worse? A guide taking 10, 20, 30 + people to an area or 2 or 3 people exploring on their own? We don't start fires, we don't litter, we respect the land which is something I don't see when I am out hiking, unfortunately! I am constantly picking up trash left behind, I wont speculate on who left it because that wouldn't be fair, some is very old showing people have been coming here for decades. The point is when I go hiking I always leave it better than I found it! The answer is obvious.
A sad example of taking repeated large numbers to an area over the years has been that a local plant species at one location and is native to that area has been reduced from their being hundreds of these plants to just a few remaining specimens in the last few years! So who's causing the damage? Lets not forget that all these sites are on PUBLIC LAND which means I can call a rock anything I want on my website! Free Speech! Because unlike some I am not out to make money off what I do, I do it because I love it! Satire! lol
On Face Book there were some ridiculous claims made that "they" found theses formations first and thus they own the site and names! Miners, Loggers, Ranchers, and all Montana's have been hunting, fishing, and hiking in this area for many years and thus saw them before! Not to mention the fact that this Boulder Batholith is 70-90 million years old! We know of human occupation because of an Archeological dig done on North White Tail Rd. last year that showed Indigenous Americans were in the area going back as far as 9,000 B.C. Prior to that we've got 40,000 years of ice age to deal with, another day. So being the first, hmm I think not, since "they" had to be told about them, I just went looking! lol
So in short many, many people have been going by and enjoying these for many, many years before someone decided they were more important than the rest of Montana and tried to restrict access to public land, sad!
I take the use of public land very serious, because it is PUBLIC not private land! This means you cannot threaten or bully people just for posting a picture! This is unacceptable behavior!
You cannot get this bad of a reputation around where I live without angering a lot of people and no one I have talked to has a high opinion of "them"! In fact, I got ran off a porch when asking to hike on their land because they thought I was with "them"! So I stick to Public Land only and share freely what I find and will continue to do so!
I am open to others research and try to use as much information as possible before making a conclusion. That is how scientific progress works, not off the backs of one group but off the work of many groups! I am not opposed to working together to find the real answer but release what evidence "they" have for review, this is the next logical step in verification, peer review!
As for the recent accusations that reveling these spots to the world will destroy them! Ridicouls, they just don't want people to able to be able to go hiking without arsine rules and make up their own minds!
So here's what happened that was absolutely unacceptable behavior for any human, blindly attacking an innocent women on Face Book, just for showing off a picture her son took! Like any good mother would!
So one of the gentlemen I hiked with took a picture of one of the dolmens. His mother thinking it was a neat picture posted it on Face Book. No location, just a mother showing off a picture her son took. This was met with a terrible out lash from "another dolmen group" saying many terrible things about her! This goes to show a pattern of harassment and bullying that NO one should have to accept!
ZERO BULLYING POLICIES!!
"They" need to make a public apology NOW!
Many people have reported to Face Book the harassment she received from this!
To address one claim, there were to many for now:
"On Face Book there were some claims made that "they" found theses formations first and thus "they" had rights to the site and names of the rocks! Let's thinks for a second prior to 2012 say...…. Miners, Loggers, Ranchers, and all Montana's have been hunting, fishing, and hiking in this area for many years and thus saw them before! Not to mention the fact that this Boulder Batholith is 70-90 million years old, so dinosaurs saw them first! lol
We know of human occupation because of an Archeological dig done on North White Tail Rd. last year (2018) that showed Indigenous Americans were in the area going back as far as 9,000 B.C. did not find any evidence past that and, yes the did dig deeper. No Clovis found.
Prior to that we've got 40,000 years of ice age to deal with, and that's a topic another day being under 2 miles of ice. So being the first, hmm I think not, and I just went looking! lol
So in short many, many people have been going by and enjoying these for many, many years before someone decided they were more important and tried to restrict access to public land locations unless you paid, sad!
If you want more information please email me below and also the Google Earth File .kmz that you can down load has been updated and will continue to be updated and shared, forever!
Get your facts straight before attacking innocent people! As a parent I cannot stand any BULLYING, cyber or otherwise and will make reports!
Deeep breath...ahhhh ok.....
*Here's the thing, if you have all your licensees and are a trained guide then do what ever you want, charge whatever you want and do you own thing! More power to you! The fact that "they" refuse to follow the law and continue to misuse the land that belongs to every single one of us, well I find that to be the biggest threat to our National Forest, people who think they can just take with out contributing back! Value for value people!
If you want more information please email me below and also the Google Earth File .kmz that you can down load has been updated and will continue to be updated and shared, forever!
OK I promise no more drama...ON TO THE ROCKS!
Sorry for the long rant, but it needed saying! I am not out to start a war! I just want everyone to follow the same rules, and above all we have to share our information if we ever want to come to a sound conclusion. Lets put these to the test! Who knows what we might find! I would love to find something, and someday we might!
Enjoy yesterdays pictures and make sure to download your copy of the Google Earth File below and go exploring! Let us know what you find! Ill update with new sites as I get them so check back!
Thanks for stopping by and putting up with me!
Enjoy!
Passing an old friend, hello! lol
Hello!?!
Very interesting feature, hard to see but the block continue to left.
The discoloration of block of course drew my attention. I would love a
geologists point of view on this!
Appears to be weathered granite of a slightly different make up, see the similar color just down and to the right? Ill circle in next post. Very cool!
Nice Picture of end of feature.
Up close look at the face!
Up close look at the face!
Cant help but appreciate the symmetry!
Front of Right Hand side of very interesting formation! It was set at the end of blocks all similar to the one big stone to the left!
This is above and behind the feature.
You can see how the stone continue.

Last but not least!
See the face? Leave a comment and let me know!
Some definitely interesting find this trip and a big shout out to some new like minded friends to go hiking with!
See you next time! Peace!
