   Heh heh ... Jeff ... I hike these hills a lot, and I've seen big blue   
   plastic sheets with an X in white in the middle nailed to the ground.   
      
   I have photos of them, but I'd have to dig them out and I'm sure you've   
   seen the same things all over.   
      
   SO that's what they must have been doing, which is what I would have   
   thought, since there's no other reason for a blue and white X to be on the   
   ground in the middle of nowhere.
