Cairns!
I know they're not naturally occuring - someone had to stack em. I seem to notice them whenever I see them. In the city, on a country road or up in the mountains? I don't want to venture too far or look too deep - I wouldn't want to find a drug stash or a body.
How did I first become aware of them? There was a place above Kapowsin, WA - the Champion timber company land. About 10 years ago, a friend of mine and I would go shooting in that area, and the road up there travesed a clear cut on a steep slope, where the road switch-backed. It seemed like every single stump was cut at about 2-3 feet off the ground and there was a rock on it. EVERY SINGLE stump on the hillside it seemed! There was even a boulder, it must have weighed a half ton, was sitting on a stump that couldn't have been 6 inches around.
My explaination? kids might've done the stacking, but it is pretty far out of the way and I would think kids performing shenanigans would get bored after an hour or two. Rolling rocks? highly unlikely, IMO. The company man, with a scoop or bucket? naw - time is money and either way you go, it would be a waste.
I always had some vision of a 7 foot, Goonies lookin' guy - from the Hills Have Eyes or something - some fourteen year old giant that has OCD or something. Everytime I drove through there, the doors were locked!
HAHA on me.
