A Couple of Mounds

 
Exploring an area along the top edge of the Conemaugh Gap. This possible structure caught my eye. It's made up of three large stones - and a dip in the ground - which is where I think they got the dirt of the oval type mound.
It's made up of dirt and rock. Then found this a couple of hundred feet away.
Nice size mound of dirt and rock overlooking the gap. Directly underneath it - could be a possible rock shelter.
This is steeper than it looks - which is why this picture isn't the greatest.

New Exploring Partner

 
Just got my new 2012 Honda Ruckus. There are spots up the mountain that take an hour to walk into - thought this might come in handy when I don't feel like walking the whole way in.

Point Found Near Rockpile

 
I found this point last month on a trip up the mountain. I actually kicked it up with my boot. I don't really spend much time looking for points - since it's so darn hard on the eyes. What I thought was interesting was - that I found it a couple of hundred feet away from this:
