Mont Vernon, NH. We used to party about 50 feet from this thing for decades. Had a great fire pit. Was down an old logging trail forever until very recently, some asshole built a housing complex right up to it. Cops never bothered us and wouldn't dare bring a cruiser down the old trail. Coukdnt hear us way out there anyway.
Yeah there was lots of clearcutting in New England throughout the 18th - 20th centuries. I used to attend a summer camp in Tuftonboro NH that got started in the 1910s and in old photographs from that time you could see clear to Mt. Washington, 40 miles north. By the time I went in the 80s you couldn't even see the nearby hills, the trees were so tall.

That's a cool random factoid, but did you notice it's in a forest now and wasn't before? How far did it move?! These rolling rocks are getting -insane-!
I've been told that if you're out in the woods out east, near older towns, and come across a stand of very old trees, it might be an overgrown cemetery, and keep an eye out for gravestones. Made sense, haven't ever put it to the test
There was a Dog Rock in Tennessee that had been damage gradually by white settlers then finally destroyed to make way for a railroad. The Native Peoples had known about the formation, probably for centuries.
Trees and dirt. Lots of trees and dirt. What a difference 135 years will make on the landscape. And the weathering on the frog rock looks very interesting as well.
What's your point? That a horrific, sickening crime happened in my state and that it was front page news around the world? You don't get credit for "raising awareness" to something that we were all talking about. Buzz off

I think the boulder in the back ground should be named "Boulder buddy."

Wonder if anyone's croaked by it?

It makes me happy to see more trees in the modern photograph.
rbudrick
Was a forest for many decades. They added a housing complex a decade ago right up to it.

The US has a lot more Forest, a massive amount more trees than it did 100 years ago

Most of New England was clear cut in the 19th century.
It's difficult to find trees in the region older than 150.
PanNonOpticon
Might not be the only clear cut between now and then. As those trees don't look that old. Quite young actually.

Yeah, you're so far off it's not even funny. This one doesn't roll, it hops.

MostAwesomeDan
Yep, looks like it's still there and still shaped like a frog! Nice! If it WEREN'T, hoo boy. That would be...that would be an interesting situation...

HowlingRollercoaster2
Yeah it seems softer. Is that lighting or just the time passing?
swofromtherock
Lighting and a slightly different angle.

If it gets too weathered put a bunch of tiny stone frogs on it and make it a Surinam Toad!

Is this about ice murdering a us citizen in cold blood? No? It’s not? So it’s a distraction? Down vote
