Log Text: Tremper Mound is now open to the public with outdoor museum quality kiosks explaining the site's importance both as a natural and cultural site. The site was purchased by the Arc of Appalachia organization over several years by buying separate parcels. Fences around and over the mound and enclosure itself have been removed. The nearby Pond Creek trail is easily accessible.
Study of the site after purchase revealed that a small portion of the enclosure surrounding the mound still exists (much reduced in height) and mowing of vegetation highlights both the extend of the mound and enclosure.
Visitors may visit during daylight hours with parking in a graveled lot off of State Road 73 on the east side of the site.

Log Text: I visited on a weekday morning in overcast conditions. In March the vegetation is not as thick as it appears to get later in the year. The trail from the trail head rapidly becomes the spring itself, and although there are places along the left hand bank heading down to the site, You are likely to get your feet wet if there has been recent rain in the area.
This is a beautiful site, with a large pool at the confluence. At this point the Agua Fria canyon is not particularly deep, but at other locations the river is cut deeply into the mesa.

Haroldstown submitted by KenWilliams on 27th Aug 2005. Taken 26th August 2005, just after nightfall. Using flash on the outside and torchlight on the inside, I took quite anumber of shots with this combination and also with single light sources. Not entirely sure which ones worked and which are OTT but I liked this one in particular because my dog managed to sneak into the frame when I was otherwise busy!

Huaca Rajada
Date Added: 24th Sep 2018
Site Type: Pyramid / Mastaba
Country: Peru
Visited: Yes on 24th Sep 2018. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 4
Log Text: The civic center associated with the famous "Lord of Sipan" tomb finds. Visible are the large adobe pyramids, and a burial platform. The tombs found in the burial platform remain open and contain simple reproductions of the tomb finds as well as signage describing the tombs.
The pyramids themselves are dramatically eroded, but careful examination shows the adobe brick structure. A nearby museum describes the Moche culture and multiple noble burials, but the finds from the tomb of the "Lord of Sipan" himself are in the museum of the Royal Tombs innearby Lambayeque City. Please visit here as well you show your support of the local village and the vendors who work near the museum.

Qenko submitted by Michelledubois on 11th Oct 2011. Near Cuzco is at a site called Qenqo, which is a monstrous rock all carved out with tunnels inside, and the whole upper surface is a maze of sculpted surfaces. The stone is andesite. The "thing" in this photo creates a perfect Puma head shadow 2 times a year. Nobody knows its true purpose.

Log Text: Our guide told us that although salt had been collected hear long before the Spanish conquest, the number and extent of the salt pans seen today are a modern feature. Even in his own lifetime the area of the "works" were dramatically smaller. Having said that, the methodology appears to not have changed for many hundreds of years.
