We found this stone in August 2010 during a toilet stop when someone in our group was looking for some privacy behind the stone!
The big boulder looked like an altar stone with petrogliefs along the sides. Mostly local animals, dogs and one human figure.

At least a very long day driving from the nearest airport in Bayan-Olgii over very bad dirt roads. You definitely need a good local guide.
