Google Earth Question - What is this?

[Jibby]

I've been doing some map scouting for Colorado. I found this one object on my path and can't figure out what it is. Does anyone have a clue?

Looks like a navigation beacon, solar panel.

Definitely a UFO.

Seriously it may not even be there now depending on when the satellite took those photos. I looked up our house just now and down the road there is 10 acres or so that was bull dozed several months ago and houses are being built. It still shows it as a wooded lot.

Water Guzzle's Look Like That

Sure looks like a yurt!

yurt or guzzler. You should be able to find out if someone has a permit for a backcountry yurt. Guzzler locations can be found to if you know who put them up.

Water, hunt the trails leading to it

I don't see any roads or trails leading up to it, so I think it's worth checking out once you get there.

It appears to be in a box canyon, and I see a trail system coming to it from the north......

I was thinking water tank or yurt also, but it's in such an odd spot out in the middle of no where on a ridge line. I'm planning on passing this area on my hike up to the Horse Mountain area (coming from the South). The square box is out of place also, possibly solar panel?.. or a trough??

It looks like a yurt and an elevated water tank to me.

Try On x maps see what you see there

We have come across them many times. The smaller square thing is water from the large water collection tank.
