We spotted this little oddity on our way to the Paint Mines Interpretive Park near Colorado Springs.
There was also a strange arrangement right next to it that looked like a landing site. Does anyone know what this all means?
I know it’s more than one photo, but it was necessary 🙂
Stay tuned for our visit to the amazing Paint Mines!
Someone has a good sense of humour or perhaps you stumbled on some sort of sacrificial site accompanied by directions. 😉
Haha, I know, right? There is something in the back of my mind telling me that I’ve see this before. Maybe on someone else’s blog…I am hoping that someone can shed light on this. Google didn’t help this time 🙂
You will have to share if you find anything out.
Interesting travelling by some of these areas to see what fun the local folks have. We used to drive between Edmonton and Spruce Grove and there were three old stoves in the field with signs, The Lone RANGE-er, Home on the RANGE (had a tiny house on it) and Free RANGE. I was sad to see them go. Happy travels and good luck figuring out the riddle/pun. Allan
Hahaha, that’s too funny! Too bad they removed them!
No idea, but do let us know when you find out 🙂
I will 🙂
Fun to speculate. It’s like a puzzle and somebody is having a good time messing with people.
Yup. Someone was having fun for sure!
Hmm, interesting! Let us know if you discover the reason it’s there.
I will 🙂
It’s a real brain teaser! LOL
It is 🙂
Wonderful. I love a mystery. Cheers, Muriel
Me too 🙂
If it had three upright poles it might have been a tent structure of sun protection with a blanket thrown over it. The three stakes could be driven into the ground. There must have been a house there at one time that burned or fell to ruin and was removed, leaving only the steps. Am I being entirely too logical? No fun…..
Haha, yeah, there must have been a house at one point and only the stairs were left behind. And, yes, someone with a sense of humour went into the trouble of getting these signs made up especially for those driving by. But why? And those three things on the ground may have been driven into the ground, but the location doesn’t lend itself to anyone lounging in a makeshift tent. It may remain a mystery 🙂
looks like a stairmaster that was left out in the snow and ice and became frozen stiff… 🙂
Haha, may be!
The plot thickens!!
Yes 😅
The stairs are funny enough but those sticks make it a bit creepy! 😅
Yeah, a bit creepy, but read on the next post for a very simple explanations 🙂
Love this! Even the smallest steps can be an adventure!
Indeed!
