Sidewinder Road

I need some help on identifying a spot on Sidewinder Road that is west of Yuma, AZ in California. The spot that I am referring to is about 2 or 3 miles north of Interstate 8 & on the Left hand side. It consists of a series of circles and paths leading to a monument with a small statue on top as well four or five similar statues on the outer edges. I have checked around but come up empty on what it is. So anyone out there that can fill in the blanks for me I say thank you. Fred

According to a local who lives on sidewinder not far from the site says it is a mystery to him also. He says that he has seen people working at the site but has not talked to them. The land that was for sale is not for sale any longer and the owner also has no idea also (or so he says) but he states who ever it is the are not harming anything so let them be.


Really good attitude.

It is an interesting place. Last year there was a 'For Sale' sign located fairly near to the shrine (?). We have not been out there this year yet.

The footprint of a old earthhouse maybe?

We have done a geocache at this site, the owner of the cache thinks that it is a Mexican shrine. We too have wondered about it's origin, it certainly isn't part of Center of the World.

It looks like the remnants of an old military establishment.

This may be a future addition to the "Center of the World" monument in Felicity, AZ. As a matter of interest to anyone in the area in Feb, 2014, there is supposed to be a dedication ceremony: The History of the United States of America Dedication is on Washington's Birthday 2014. It is an interesting, kind of bizarre, monument supported by the U.S. for $1 a year. Apparently, there are twenty $1 un-cashed checks on site.
No person is completely worthless ... one can always serve as a bad example.

In checking it out on Google Earth there appears to be a circular structure with paths that is located about 2 miles north of I-8 on Sidewinder Rd. and to the west of Sidewinder Rd. about 350'. There is no street view on Google Earth for that site, so I can't tell what it is, but it is intriguing.
