I was trying to see if "Rolling Rock" correlated to any of the boulders we could see in the Duck Bay pan of Cape Verde. My guess is that the rocks we are seeing are the grouping between D1 and D2. Hopefully from the top of Cape Verde we'll be able to see down to "Rolling Rock" and the trail.

Does anyone else think that the following image contains a "rolling rock" trail? Just below dead centre there appears to be a series of bounce marks and then they stop at a largish rock.

Brian:
Possible yours, *and* another one!
It could be some sort of wind effect, though (remember the size and length of 'Serpent'?) with a series of eddies behind a rock. Bob Shaw -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!
