Our loop on the Far View Trail took us past half a dozen Ancestral Puebloan structures of varying types. Preservation attempts at Megalithic House have included a rather ugly, but still I suppose functional, roofed enclosure. Set into the clay soil near Megalithic House we spotted this unstamped NPS survey disk. A survey mark set directly into the soil is unusual, to say the least. I’m assuming it is set atop a steel rod deeply embedded in the ground to add some stability.
