If anyone sees letters it could be the WP emblem. I had not even noticed the spot before. You have sharp eyes. Well my best guess would have to be that the dark object is a meteorite that has just fallen through the hole in the cloud just above it. Same mountain in both pictures.
Oil is spelled out on side of the mountain.
The picture with the creek in the foreground, has an dark object above the horizion on the leftside of the peak below the clouds. Now that you mention it, I can see the hippo with its snoot facing to the right in the photos. That fits in just right with the area being full of different cultures. Yes Debra it is the same mountain. Where the brook view is taken from is the short road going off the Success Loop road to Cave Lake.
