Port Angeles,Washington

I`m looking for long time res of Port Angeles,Washington ,information about two boys finding a rock in Moris cr or tumwater cr

I remember when the discovery of the rock with the writing was announced on the news years ago. I can't recall the year. The media was not given the details about the exact location of the stone. The story was written in the Peninsula Daily News.

This story appeared briefly in the Seattle Times. It was also featured in a segment on Unsolved Mysteries. In the story, the show did not disclose the exact location of the rock with the engraved symbols. The rock was found in 1988 and is located in Tumwater Creek near Port Angeles. The way the story was told on the TV show, a week after the boys found the rock all kinds of good luck happened to the family. The Steve Johnson family was offered a store in a local mall, and started prospering in their new business.

There hasn't been any explanations of how old the engravings are, or who did them, or what meaning is conveyed by the symbols. The symbols don't appear to be badly weathered. Perhaps someone could photograph the rock and post the picture on this thread.

I actually have a friend that grew up in Port Angeles and still lives there.

I asked him about this and unfortunately he mentioned that the general word around town was that it was a hoax. :/
