where rocks move in long tracks along a smooth valley floor without human or 
animal intervention. They have been recorded and studied in a number of places 
around Racetrack Playa, Death Valley, where the number and length of travel 
grooves are notable. The force behind their movement is not understood and is 
subject to research.<BR><!--colorstart:#009900--><SPAN style="COLOR: #009900"><!--/colorstart--><BR></SPAN></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://izismile.com/2009/10/23/the_mysterious_sailing_stones_of_death_valley_49_pics.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/izismile.com/img/BB68018B-051E-47EB-AC91-A0E31D3B7340" alt="The Mysterious Sailing Stones of Death Valley (49 pics)" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://izismile.com/2009/10/23/the_mysterious_sailing_stones_of_death_valley_49_pics.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/izismile.com/img/5E4CEF7D-B385-4108-A29D-F16454DB02F9" alt="The Mysterious Sailing Stones of Death Valley (49 pics)" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://izismile.com/2009/10/23/the_mysterious_sailing_stones_of_death_valley_49_pics.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/izismile.com/img/E6C2EE5B-510E-4FA8-83B8-68008752F0B4" alt="The Mysterious Sailing Stones of Death Valley (49 pics)" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://izismile.com/2009/10/23/the_mysterious_sailing_stones_of_death_valley_49_pics.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/izismile.com/img/599FCCB4-1A22-4102-82B6-858E65C38E9A" alt="The Mysterious Sailing Stones of Death Valley (49 pics)" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://izismile.com/2009/10/23/the_mysterious_sailing_stones_of_death_valley_49_pics.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/izismile.com/img/D1A3E305-5450-4B2B-8F59-2848A91A6B94" alt="The Mysterious Sailing Stones of Death Valley (49 pics)" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://izismile.com/2009/10/23/the_mysterious_sailing_stones_of_death_valley_49_pics.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/izismile.com/img/80C5723B-043D-489F-810B-66F0E41A7361" alt="The Mysterious Sailing Stones of Death Valley (49 pics)" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://izismile.com/2009/10/23/the_mysterious_sailing_stones_of_death_valley_49_pics.html">Racetrack stones only move every two or three years and most tracks develop over 
three or four years. Stones with rough bottoms leave straight striated tracks 
while those with smooth bottoms wander. Stones sometimes turn over, exposing 
another edge to the ground and leaving a different track in the stone's 
wake.<BR></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://izismile.com/2009/10/23/the_mysterious_sailing_stones_of_death_valley_49_pics.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/izismile.com/img/DB2FF3FD-5A78-4746-BB87-C6C81DE89ECB" alt="The Mysterious Sailing Stones of Death Valley (49 pics)" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://izismile.com/2009/10/23/the_mysterious_sailing_stones_of_death_valley_49_pics.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/izismile.com/img/701D3A8D-6F2E-434D-9927-E272C9E23176" alt="The Mysterious Sailing Stones of Death Valley (49 pics)" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://izismile.com/2009/10/23/the_mysterious_sailing_stones_of_death_valley_49_pics.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/izismile.com/img/C3978927-B9A8-47A6-89D0-FB1D1707FF67" alt="The Mysterious Sailing Stones of Death Valley (49 pics)" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://izismile.com/2009/10/23/the_mysterious_sailing_stones_of_death_valley_49_pics.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/izismile.com/img/284BA565-A574-4C10-A1F5-3CF45E9938B1" alt="The Mysterious Sailing Stones of Death Valley (49 pics)" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://izismile.com/2009/10/23/the_mysterious_sailing_stones_of_death_valley_49_pics.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/izismile.com/img/6CCD9DA1-4298-449B-91D2-95527293FF89" alt="The Mysterious Sailing Stones of Death Valley (49 pics)" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://izismile.com/2009/10/23/the_mysterious_sailing_stones_of_death_valley_49_pics.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/izismile.com/img/3ABFC98F-7E86-4266-915D-0AD177689C12" alt="The Mysterious Sailing Stones of Death Valley (49 pics)" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://izismile.com/2009/10/23/the_mysterious_sailing_stones_of_death_valley_49_pics.html">Sliding rock trails fluctuate in direction and length.
