EVA # 12
Author: David Laude
Purpose of EVA: Into Lith Canyon area to access higher vantage point on ridge to view the Monolith as seen by Commander in previous missions. This is needed as a final compass reading for triangulation of it.
Start time: 0932
End time: 1225
Narrative: We arrived at closet point to ridge we wanted to access and hiked up to top. The Monolith was in view. Sometimes it was barely visible, blending into back ground color while other times black. Took azimuth reading, 303 degrees magnetic, and the last we need to triangulate position on map. We also found Monolith ceremonial artifacts or so it seems! We found three short (2-3 feet) purposely erected vertical stone monoliths along the ridge line where the Monolith is easily seen.
