[QUOTE="Allen, post: 359964, member: 389"] The top of the emergency spillway at Garrison dam is only 1854 ft. For those to be actual mooring stones, only the Turtle Mountain and places west of the Missouri Coteau would have been out of the water. Sorry, but there's no way these are mooring stones in ND. Glacial Lake Souris reached up to between 1500 and 1600 ft above MSL on today's terrain, and Glacial Lake Agassiz probably never exceeded 1300 ft MSL. And again, most importantly, since lakes Agassiz and Souris drained roughly 8500-9000 years ago, we would be talking about mooring stones placed on the shoreline of either being greater than 6000 years before Christ was born. This is why Molberg really shouldn't be taken seriously when he refers to these rocks as "mooring stones", the physical setup he suggests as to why the rocks were found at the elevations they are located is several thousand years ahead of the great Viking explorers.
