Thought I'd try something new. Post pictures of memorials you have found in ABDSP or nearby BLM land.
On a hill above Carrizo Impact area border. ABDSP patrolled BLM land
In ABDSP just east of the Palm Canyon campground

Interesting idea. Should be quite a few pics for this topic. Tom
Near Coyote Wash and EC085. According to the Internet, found lying outside his car with a shotgun nearby.

Assuming that's near Coyote Creek east of Vandeventer Flat somewhere? That looks like an interesting place to explore. You hiked there or drove? Looks like it's somewhat accessible off 74. Tom

Hi Tommy 750,
Either hike in from Rock house Canyon or Hike down from Toro Peak. It's eaiser coming down from the mountian.
As I remember there were about 8 or more marked ( falling apart) wooden grave markers with no info. No idea of age
or who they were. But the view from the memorial ground was fantastic! I have a guess.
a) Converted Christian native Americans
b) Lumber mill workers ( seems like a lot) from the old Santa Rosa lumber mill
c) Homesteders who lived on or around the mountian
Going back has been on my list. If I can still find it! We just stumbled on it hiking down towards Toro Spring.

Not my photo (credit to Space Cowboy) but it certainly belongs in this thread.

The Frank Fox shooting is mentioned in one of the Lindsey books. Interesting to see a memorial!

I don't have any better info but was able to find the location this past weekend.

Daren,
You found them! Wow haven't seen that view in over 20 years. I still wonder who they were and when they were all buried. It does have a nice view for a burial spot IMHO.

Daren, Tommy and the crew. I found these burial mounds east of the Santa Rosas on a trail heading down to the ancient Lake Cahuilla shoreline.
Working on posting pic with new photo hosting#%@!

Daren, I am still struggling with my new hosting service as you can see. I am pretty old school so it takes awhile to figure the new photo sizing.
Anyway, here they are. Yes one of the 3 burial mounds was dug up. Why? I've only seen these in a few places around ABDSP and both times at least one was "disturbed". The first pic is the undisturbed one. These were found about halfway between the Ancient Lake Cahuilla shore line to the East and the Ancient mountain springs to the east.

This piece of pottery nearby shows an incluse and painted design. Meaning?
