Along with the trail around the main complex, there is an "Astronomical Trail," which features the monoliths marking the lines denoted in the Astronomical alignment map. We took to the trail with our map, and here I am hopping down from a rock we used to get our bearings, as we only need the sun and our keen senses of direction to find our way. Below is the "Winter Solstice Sunset Monolith," which was photographed by Robert E. Stone (no, really, that was his name) on 12.21.70 (the shortest day of that year) marking the southern most set of the sun 4000 years ago, when aliens put it there. The earth's tilt has changed slightly since then, so the monolith is a little off, but the aliens will come back and fix it when they have some time. It's not a high priority.
