Is it a bed?, never would have guessed that, would have thought it was some type of shelter, great shot and view.

Will I guess I arrived late for the game, but I really enjoy reading the comments. Oh and I noticed another Anna on the comment, for second I thought I must have been sleepping when I arrived here, because I don’t remember any of it, lol. Nice fun post. Anna

Given the hints, I still wouldn’t have guessed it. But I can now have my peace knowing what it is.

I’m glad you stumbled onto my book selling article. The process really is cathartic. And you can get a little cash to boot!

That quote is funny! Makes me wish we had a mini black hole to dump the old National Geographics into. Just to see what would really happen.

Yeah - This article from a while back got me noticed as an adult site. Silly, but those bots that crawl your site can interpret things weirdly sometimes.

By the way, Andrew. I found your article on selling books and am in the process of going through a 6 foot tall stack of used homeschooling and college texts to see if I can shift their weight elsewhere on the planet. Thanks!

That reminds me of the old quote that someone made long ago that if suddenly, in an instant, all the old copies of National Geographic were removed from the planet, Earth’s orbit around the sun would change.

No worries about the censoring. My guess wasn’t really family-friendly anyway.

It is a great view, and that is the reason for the stone structure. Andrew has come the closest, I guess, but some others were on the right track. Thanks for all the guesses! I just put up the question as an after-thought, but may try to do more puzzles in the future.

It is a bed. With a pad and a bag it is not that bad.

Backpackers on the PCT know about it and try to be the first one there to claim it for the night. Often someone will lay out their claim, then go a ways down the trail to have diner and come back to it for the night. The view from there is really something on a clear night and because of the high elevation, great for star gazing.

People will really think I’m crazy now. And this comment will probably be caught by your spam filter.

“Censored” Sorry, Andrew. LOL! Harmless, but I don’t want the SE crawlers to get the wrong idea!

Ok - Here are some clues. If no one has guessed by tomorrow, I’ll put up the answer.

Hint part A: It is about 100 feet off the Pacific Crest Trail, in the middle of the woods, a good hike from civilization.

Hint part B: It is sometimes used in the daytime, but usually at night, by backpackers.

Hint Part C: Those guesses that focus on the top of the structure are on the right track. Although I can really agree how it looks like a shelter, oven, or fireplace.
