I Finally Found It! But What Is Utah’s Stonehenge?

[@cathymaxcy3391]

My father worked for the Fish Lake National Forest back in the 60s. He knew where some of these were, but nothing as fancy as what you saw. We called them sheep herder monuments.

[@TrekPlannerSideTreks]

It's sad to think how many have fallen down already but many seemed to be built so they would last for many more decades

[@stevehilliard1495]

That’s neat, good job of sticking to it

[@TrekPlannerSideTreks]

Thank you, Steve!

[@JT-xh4zm]

You have to love serendipity. When all the stars align and you realize you are exactly where you were meant to be. Cool story. Thanks for sharing.

Side Treks - Jeff! I LOVE Fish Lake Utah! When I was a YOUNG child I lived with my Grandma and Grandpa. We'd spend the bulk of our summers in a cabin on the shores of Fish Lake. Lots of great memories! When my dad got remarried we moved to Orem from Benjamin. While there he worked at Geneva Steele and then became self-employed as a home builder. In his off time he built a large boat so we could take it out on Fish Lake. He got the boat done and invited all the extended family to join us to camp around Grandpa's cabin and go fishing out on the lake. My grandpa only had a rowboat so the bigger boat was going to be much better. We all got up early in the morning and Dad went out to start loading camping gear in the boat and to hitch it to his truck. The boat was gone!!! Someone had stolen it in the night. Sad day, but we all went anyway and had a great time with all our cousins - except the cousin who was chopping firewood with an ax and hit is foot. Thanks for sharing this Jeff!

[@scottnorthcut3815]

Perfect little side trek thank you sir

[@TrekPlannerSideTreks]

Thank you for watching!

[@mtnvalley9298]

Great story. Environmental art done well! Thanks Jeff

[@TrekPlannerSideTreks]

Thanks for watching Side Treks! :-)

[@rockcountry]

It’s amazing what we learn when we just start talking to one another. There are so many knowledgeable people around us. Great video!

[@chuckzehnder530]

Thanks, Jeff, for finding, videoing and researching this for our enjoyment!

[@tedpreston4155]

Great story! Ancestral Puebloans aren't the only ones who know how to stack rocks! This reminds me of a place in Wyoming that I first discovered on youtube. The channel suggested all kinds of wild theories about who may have stacked the rocks there, including space aliens, vikings and Knights Templars! (In Wyoming! 🥴) Naturally, they also called it "Wyoming Stonehenge." Like Jeff, I did my own research, and, after finding the location, the answers became more obvious. It turns out that I knew the location fairly well, and I knew that the whole surface of the area had been shredded in recent decades, since it was part of a huge uranium mine. The rocks had clearly been piled during reclamation of the mine, but they were decidedly artistic in their arrangement: someone with heavy equipment had to have had an urge to create some rock art! I learned later that there are a few artists around who get government contracts to create artwork during mine reclamation, and the location at the uranium mine is just one of many around the country.

[@cheycasters]

Cool!

[@katep23]

Unexpected discoveries, however old (or not!) are endlessly fascinating! Thanks Jeff!

[@Nova2032-]

You followed the Bread Crumbs… and never gave up. 😁 What a find !

[@TrekPlannerSideTreks]

Really such random events! I'm still shocked that girl's dad walked in right before I was leaving!

[@lucindajennings148]

Interesting! Good sticktoitiveness!!😊

[@TrekPlannerSideTreks]

haha they don't always end up like this

[@sharonedwards4668]

Very interesting! What a process you went through to discover the story! Way to stick with it!

[@anned372]

Oh wow, what a amazing story and a meant to be there so you can share. Thanks Jeff 😊

[@edgarrogers3706]

Great job Jeff, really enjoyed this video.

[@TrekPlannerSideTreks]

Awesome, thank you!

[@dr.froghopper6711]

Cool story man!

[@TrekPlannerSideTreks]

Glad you liked it!

[@jaredharris1940]

There's so much, old and new to see in our state of Utah!

[@XC797]

That was incredible to have everyone show up at the gas station in the sequence that led you to your destination. Great video .

[@juliaarmato3984]

Love it! God bless

[@jhwygirl]

Awesome video Jeff! I need to go find this myself!

[@davidschneider3978]

Great work sir! Your dedication is inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@michaelearl6991]

I was born and raised how far from Fish Lake. As soon as I saw Bicknell I immediately thought of Lorenzo Larsen. I've seen many of his Little Rock piles. He courted my mother at one time before I was old enough to remember. By the way that is nowhere near the Uintas

[@michaelearl6991]

Correction born and raised not far from Fish Lake. By the way the government forest service I'm not sure who was wanting to remove those. Glad to see they're still there.

[@marymisdom3955]

I did enjoy it. He must have really enjoyed the peace and solitude there after the noise and destruction of the war.

[@brahmog3566]

thank you for sharing this man's story.

[@shealaking8557]

Cool, Jeff!🙂

[@MouseMotes]

Very cool! Glad you were in the right place at the right time to find it!

[@billbucktube]

Cool‼️

[@Here-a-little-there-a-little]

Love this story!!!!

[@LeNerda62]

Great story. 😊

[@TrekPlannerSideTreks]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SuzSt.seer8]

Right time at the right place, bit beyond coincidence.😊

[@jenniferwatt5209]

Very cool detective work.

[@alitacoetzee991]

wow thank you for sharing

[@kirsiselei8703]

Nice❤, and great u found that and they are still mostly up. Intresting story too

[@carontheroad]

I often think of how many more backroads I would have taken if I had gps then.🤣👍

[@xtbro78]

YES! I used to do SAR work on teams in California. After I'd retired from it, GPS came along. It blew me away how transforming GPS was to backcountry navigation/exploring. And I couldn't help but imagine how many of the people we'd been searching for would not have needed "rescue" if they'd only known where they were. Works in the darkest night and in bad weather, right from a smartphone.

[@alienallen2983]

COOL THANK YOU JEFF 🙂👍🙏>>>💚

[@marisolbenitez1339]

Nice story love your journey and the quest to find something and learn how it became to be.❤

[@sandramorey2529]

Well, that was fun. Creative stuff old or newer is great and your exploration is always fun and interesting. Thanks

[@spiritwhispers667]

brilliant

[@Janer-52]

What an interesting story! I get why it would be called "Stonehenge" but it is not really like Stonehenge at all. I'm glad you found it. The story is fascinating.

[@TrekPlannerSideTreks]

yeah! The Stonehenge name was kind of odd. More like Stack Rock Henge LOL

[@mirandamom1346]

Bicknell- that’s the town with a restaurant that sells pickle pie!

[@TrekPlannerSideTreks]

What?? I'm going back! LOL

[@brianbown7332]

I work there. It’s called Sunglow. Come get it! Crazy, I’ve never heard of this.

[@lennyburdick3192]

Love serendipity

[@Aff3ct000]

David Lamb. The only dude I've ever known to show up to work in pajamas after getting up late.

[@cameddy4081]

Great sleuthing - very interesting- Fish Lake is an an awesome place on earth - here’s to Lorenzo the stonemason - Stonehenge it is not but excellent job “fishing” out the truth - love the American west 🙏

[@williammackey9508]

Nice to see the truth.

[@dennisjensen6142]

Lorenzo also arranged rocks in a big L on a hillside down here. It took lots of looking but now I can't miss it as i drive by

[@kangaroobooks718]

These rock works are worthy of registration. Art is art and to people like myself, they are worthy of registration for posterity. In one singular picture the rocks speak of brotherhood.❤

[@1TakoyakiStore]

I hope you talk about places you wanted to find or have stumbled across only to be unable to go back (i.e. park is permanently closed to the public, the land is now on private property, or on a military base). That way it can give us the viewers an idea to your ongoing trek destination leads without spoiling any future video. I mention it because when I see a video like this I just can't help but wonder how many more are on hold or in the works. 😅

[@michaeltaylor4984]

Fish Lake was my honeymoon location. It was her choice. She loved Splake.

[@andreab6531]

Serendipity!

[@goodwaterhikes]

😎👍👍

[@mrtko1]

It's on Adams Avenue Parkway in South Ogden?!? 😅

[@synisterfish]

@0:00 - "... this is YOUR daily dose of INTERNET"...😄

[@Howard-bj1jq]

Why have you started a second video platform?

[@shazamshazamshazam696]

Synchronicity at work to bring you to that spot. There is a book by that name that gives a detailed explanation of how it works, also that movie named: What The **** Do We Know or What The Bleep Do We Know?

[@Beanshark]

The Forest Service has been dismantling these. There aren't as many left.

[@jamesflake6601]

I find incredible that we're flying half a million mph through the cosmos spinning in 5 diferent directions yet the earth seems so still

[@The_DC_Kid]

How can you be certain this is actually the fabled "it" of which explorers, adventurers and treasure hunters have been searching for centuries untold? I've heard and read of very many others claiming they finally discovered "it", but apparently they were mistaken.

[@theburtseoni]

In 100 years that hand built Henge will be visited by folks and become a protected monument. Time tends to put everything in some kind of focus.

[@ValagEvermore]

Ah, so it's the Coral Castle of Utah.

[@L.D.S.HELLHOLE]

We are dealing with a LOST CIVILIZATION or Race of ; I have personally seen structures also but were far more cruder if i can state that but the stones were huge ! the size of a SMALL CAR.

[@terrypikaart4394]

Its just the remnants of a very old stone house..

[@melissalockhart284]

I wonder if the stars would of been a good map? Curious?

[@douglaswood6813]

Several previous videos by others on these "monuments" include: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6iUiZZvoLidj9U ... and ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/monQqIN8ZtBmkJY ... and ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpWlcqeMjNxobM0

[@ARose4UTube]

Dear, Jeff: What happened for you to find all of this, was not just a series of random coincidences. This was God working it all out, far in advance, because he knew that you really wanted to find this and figure out what it was. That's how God works, when He has our hearts and He is our delight. The scripture says : "Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4 And He does! The examples I could tell you, are amazing!☺

[@shammusomalley8986]

stonehenge is concrete over rebar, and it's provable.

[@Vandrock]

"What is it?" Same as all the other henge, a pile of rocks...

[@ruthmusser4449]

😆 😅😅

[@brucewilson1958]

Dear Brother... Great story. I want to help you get to 10K Subs and make money. I suggest a graphic intro. Could be a simple symbol with the channel name. Maybe add a brief description of what you are about. And some simple sound effects. Thunder or rain, something natural. All this could be done in 12 or 14 seconds. Plus, add color to your background and artifacts. Finally, add a surprise image of nature at the end of each video. Really successful channels are doing things like this and it makes their shows more interesting. Keep it simple and cheap.

[@2nd_of_3]

Good karma 😁

[@PiggyFuktoy]

The Uintahs , which I've hiked extensively, is one of only three mountain ranges which run East-West, v North-South

[@kimbarton3222]

I thought it was the only one. What are the others?
