Gossip Rock Mortars, Union City,Ca - New World Ancient Evidence on Waymarking.com

In Union City Califoria's Dry Creek Regional Park, high on the Ridge Loop Trail, is a place called Gossip Rock. It's a large bedrock outcropping framed by a pair of California Laurel trees that appear to be 'gossiping'. On the flanks are a set of ancient indian mortars.

It makes sense for them to be there. Coastanoen indians sought out high places where wind would catch the chaff and cool the women doing the hard work. This is a close-up of one of the holes

No doubt, some real gossiping happened here over the centuries, in languages we no longer understand today.

On top of everything else, there's a great view from the site
