The Kid Factor is always a problem. During a survey of property overlooking  
Interstate 5 and the San Elijo Lagoon, my crew found and diligently mapped-in 
an  alignment of small cobbles (overgrown with bushes) that we could never be  
certain of the source. Since it was near a 7,000 year old prehistoric site, 
but  also on a cattle ranch that dated back to the 1820s, we realized just 
about  anyone could have created it. Better safe than sorry, we filled out a 
California  Department of Parks & Recreation form on the feature and the Lead 
Agency  preserved it right along with the Coastal Sage Scrub biological habitat. 
Thirty  years later, I still wonder if a couple of seven year olds did not just 
create  the thing. But then the notion crosses my mind, if two children did it 
7,000  years ago, would it make a difference?
