A Gifted Evening a couple nights ago...
Wishing I would have met the person that piled the rocks... and "Thanked" him or her...

Bill, off subject... where did you get that leather cap? I need to get one for Spirit instead of his helmet, I think it will protect his ears (sound) better...
Thanks... just in case you knew.

Hi Ara!
That's actually a picture of an actor in the movie "Fandango" so I can't help you with a source. I would guess that it's a pilot's cap like one of the ones here:

Ara, you know I like it! And just a few days before you were there, we were and that particular "stack" was 2 stones shorter then. I added one large stone to the stack at the far left. it will be interesting to see how they all grow and change over the coming years. Not sure what caused the ground to be so "bare" around it. As often as we had been there, that had never been noticed before. Too much human traffic is my guess. Again, some awesome pics there!

That is so great to at least know one person that has set up some of the stones!!! That really adds to the photo, for me anyhow. The right one is well balanced but I am afraid a storm will take it... Bare? yes, much traffic... did you notice the new bathroom?!!!
