Content: | Last year we ran a story and photos about a find naturalist Christopher Nyerges made up in the Arroyo Seco below Switzer\'s streamside granite boulders that had carvings in them in a mysterious language that looked rather Gaelic. Now Christopher, who leads wild- food and other types of hikes in our mountains and half-wild urban areas as well, has found another carving in a rock 300 yards upstream. There\'s a round hole in the rock\'s top, and a word that looks something like \"Fumid\' carved into it. He points out that an old graveyard was near this site, and that this could be a gravestone and the word a name. Anyone know? -- Larry Wilson is editor of the Pasadena Star-News.
