Penny for Your Thoughts

I really don’t have much to add to the question – What do you think this is…?
It is in the middle of Guadalupe Mountains National Park…
It is sitting at 5,991’/5,992', on the ascent to a ‘peak’ of 6,069’ (approximately 400’ to the SW)…
Google Earth coordinates:
32°09'27.00"N 104°42'30.98"W

As you can see… No car/vehicle trails within ~800’…
Looks like copper, or rusted metal…to me.
It is, apparently, a structure, in that it casts a shadow (to the northeast).

I first thought it could be an old “tank”…but, if so…it is so outdated, all evidence of its installation, use or ‘interest’ has vanished… And the question might present itself – why put a ‘tank’ there?

Anyway – I find this interesting…and would like to know your thoughts.

Thanks!

Here's one that's just a bit closer-in...

Interesting...looks like a giant coin to me. I wonder what tossed it...

Hard to say what it is, even after I have zoomed in and turned it left 90 degrees.

I think that is a brilliant observation.

...I wonder what tossed it...

I was hoping you had an idea...since I'm kind of, at a loss on that.
Thanks!

It really does look like some kind of imprint/symbol might be there...
The Illuminati Pyramid People... Masonic Native Americans... Coins of the Gods... ?

It does look like a big water tower/tank. You can see from the front, it does appear to have some height to it.

I love threads like this...we get to play...*name that thing*...S&F

Water tower .

You can barely make out the remnants of the windmill on the bottom right.

This is the ring of death where the Mason's helicopter drop our critics to fight each other until the death.
You wanted to know, now who can prove me wrong?

I'm going with Star Gate, or rock animal from Mars.

If you don't mind...could you explain how you see such a big tank being utilized in such a location...and/or, by whom...and/or when...?
Otherwise - thanks for the Penny's worth.

I am not seeing the 'windmill'...yet... Can you be a little more descriptive for me?
Thanks.

a reply to: WanDash

Well I am going by the fact that there are about a dozen big tanks in the vicinity of Guadalupe Mountains and Lincoln National Forest where this is located. If you check the Google map you will see Kite Windmill storage tank is only a couple of hundred yards to the north. And if you check Panoramio there are lots of water tanks in various states of decay in these mountains.

I'm going to guess it looks a lot like this one nearby: www.americansouthwest.net...

a reply to: Rob48
Appreciate that, Rob48...
I have seen many tanks &/or the remnants of them in the surrounding region.
Again - that was my first thought.
I am not even saying that there's no good reason for it, where it stands...
But - I don't see evidence/s for/of its use.
If the water is not being utilized or accessed where the tank stands...wouldn't you expect to see some water-pipe or irrigation channel leading away & to some place where it would be used (like the Kite Tank, you mentioned)?

On the other hand - I agree that this is probably, still, the most likely answer/explanation.
So - Thanks again for entertaining my question.

PS: I admit that there might be evidence of some underground piping that leads across the roadway to the NW...that then releases into a 'spillway' that eventually ends near the Kite Tank... I am not, though, convinced, of the same.

i'm thinkin' water tower..

How did you find this? Was there a hacker involved?

Darn, you've found my fortress of solitude.

I was trying to find a drivable route through the area...and stumbled upon it...
I'm not a hacker...except under the influence of bronchitis...so - I don't think a hacker was involved.
Thanks!!!
