As soon as I saw these rocks, I knew I had to somehow capture them. I suffered for it too, by slipping and stepping into the cool water to regain my balance. My boot was a bucket of water, holding in the wet and damp, and not letting it out. This was only a few minutes into the hike and it squished with me with every step almost the whole day.

Although I have seen neatly arranged rock piles in the desert southwest marking a trail where no other significant trail identifier was available, I have never seen rocks balanced in such a setting. I was immediately intrigued. Of course, one of the first things I did when we got back from the hike was to check out Wikipedia. Who Knew?
