Pods
I took this photo about 50 yards from where I took the photo of the Pecos River.

The sign reads:
Fort Sumner
Population 1,250 - Elevation 4,028 ft.
Named for the fort built in 1862 to guard the Bosque Redondo Indian Reservation, the town of Fort Sumner grew out of settlements clustering around the Maxwell family properties. It moved to its present site with the construction of the Belén Cutoff of the Santa Fe Railroad around 1907.
Nothing particularly noteworthy, really. And, I just took the photo so I'd have a marker for my other photos. And, then I noticed something. See the post at the left? Here's a close-up:

What do you suppose that's all about?
