ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: (narrative, drawines, sketch mao) <br />This isolate consists of two stone cairns located in the bottom of aneast-flowing tributary of Fish Creek near <br />the confluence of two intermittent drainages. There aze high east/west ridges to the north and south. The <br />vegetation is primarily dense riparian grasses in the drainage and spazse sagebrush and grasses on the <br />surrounding slopes. A cow path runs between the two cairns along the base of the slope. The cairns aze both <br />fairly lazge. The one closer to the stream measures 163 cm NW/SE x 221 cm NE/SW and is about 30 cm <br />in height. It is constructed of 50+ lazge blocky sandstone and vesiculaz basalt cobbles. The second cairn <br />is 230 cm to the northwest, closer to the slope. It measures 220 cm NW/SE x ] 60 cm NE/SW and is about <br />20 cm in height. This cairn has a more elongated shape and is constructed of fewer cobbles that are the same <br />material and size. The rocks of both cairns have been stacked and mounded. A few rocks from the upslope <br />cairn have collapsed slightly downslope. The basal rocks are partially embedded and no lichen is visible <br />on any of the rocks. Seismic line 9902 is located five meters south of the southern cairn. These appear to <br />be sheepherders cairns and may not exceed 50 years. <br />V.
