You're on to me! While I admit to a certain altruism for helping
my fellow meteorite hunters by piling up all the offending rocks, my
subconscious plan all along has been to build a sort of "Kilroy was
here" legacy with all these cairns. Hard not to be motivated to
leave some lasting calling card when you find so many Native American
artifacts while searching for meteorites. Unfortunately, Mother
Nature does not share my enthusiasm for "tagging": it is amazing
how quickly these cairns get scattered by water and wind. --Rob
