They are then transported by barge thru the Great Lakes all the way out to the Boston area to be used for shoreline reinforcement. I guess red granite is impervious to salt water.

I laughed so loud when I saw the title of the news story! :-) If you can, please send me an email at critterfarm.garden at gmail dot com and I'll explain why I published your comment myself, unless you already know why. :)<br /><br />Penny and Lynn - it's funny, but I didn't even notice those black clouds at the time. It wasn't until I uploaded them onto my computer later that I thought, "Wow!". I guess I'm numb to it. During the first 28 days of April, it rained for 24 of them....

Columbia Gorge something, something. (helpful, I know.)<br /><br />2. Columbia Gorge Winery. <br /><br />Honestly, they look like stone that is to be carved or used for some massive building project. Otherwise, they'd never haul it single, enormous pieces.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14685492126157550044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845299642721912499.post-16440647916988771362010-05-01T17:41:36.162-07:002010-05-01T17:41:36.162-07:00My goats wish those big boulders were coming to ou...My goats wish those big boulders were coming to our house.Joanna@BooneDocksWilcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11889259406024845745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845299642721912499.post-3834224217727987192010-05-01T16:58:42.465-07:002010-05-01T16:58:42.465-07:00It looked like the sky was going to break out in a...It looked like the sky was going to break out in a huge storm.

I have also been known to drive and take photos, but am way too old to do it on a major highway with big trucks like that.

Where did they come from, what are they for, etc? <br />And now I know we're not the only ones fascinated with them. How interesting that this is an on going thing, and wasn't just those two trucks that we saw that one time! I'll have to tell Malcolm about it now! He was in awe of their size!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17294229154600798483noreply@blogger.com
