Nope. Not Jim Bridger. Or the fort.

There's a certain significance to the position of the left arm on the statue.

I can't really make out the position of the left arm, nor can I make out what that protuberance is!:cry:

Really?!? How high is your monitor's resolution set? Looks pretty obvious to me.

Maybe I can find a clearer crop of that. Lemme look...

It looks to me like he is holding seeds in his right hand and tossing them from his left. Is it Johnny Appleseed?

My resolution is 1280 by 1024 - do you think I should see it with that?

Mine here at work is 1152x864. Maybe it just looks so obvious to me because I know what it looks like... :confused:

He's just holding his right arm at his side. His left arm is pointing down at something in the distance. What he's pointing to is historically significant because of something he did.

Another clue: This also serves as his headstone. He's buried under the statue.

I found a view of it from a better angle, but not only does it also include his name on the front of the statue, but the symbols on the front would also be too much of a clue...

Still looking for a better angle, but this dialup connection keeps dying on me. And it's slllooooooowwwww...

A much better picture, thanks Lonnie. I still have no idea, but it's a great post!

Something to do with the Mason Dixon Line i.e. is it a statue of one of them pointing at a significant "stone" in the line?


That was a great meal ~ you must have a good set of pans :p
