Google Earth Views: Old Man in the Sand

First the Virgin Mary shows up in a grilled cheese sandwich, and now the recently deceased old man in the mountain shows up in the California desert, and he looks pissed.

Seriously, you have to admit this Sauron/Sauramon type face is really freaky.  If you are driving on the 15 from LA to Las Vegas, it looks like you can make a slight detour and check out this desert face to see for yourself if we are making a monkey out of molehill.  If you make the pilgrimage to the desert--bring hobbits, and please let us know whether this is a satellite photo anomaly, a genuine giant monkey face, or California's newest governor.

Thanks to the Jaunted tipster, who knew about our Google Earth obsession and pointed us to 35.832671, -116.385083.
