We’ve just had roads washed out due to flooding from cyclones season here in NZ.

You’re welcome to bring your shovel and help fix them.

Yikes! That’s a big one. I lived in Southern California for 36 years and saw many a stone, albeit rarely that large on the road, especially in Angeles Crest.

Cones are good. I remember driving in Turkey, something had not landed on the road, but half the road had collapsed and fallen down the hill. There was clear drop of several hundred feet, with just enough surface left for a small car to inch round, between the solid rocks on one side and the drop on the other.

Some kind local person had come out and tried to mark it, though they did not have any cones, so they had just tipped a barrow load of earth at either end of the drop. It was lucky we were not traveling at night, because the earth was hardly visible, and one small barrow load would not have stopped a car going over.

I laughed at the rubber road cones surrounding a lump of stone vomited by a mountain, but realize the seriousness of nature being violent at times. To those from the city, yes. A bear might trample your tent. You may wake up to said trampled tent only to face a foot of snow in the night to finish your tent off. The next morning, you wake to a flattened camp, and knee deep in snow. Do I miss it? You bet!

Looking at the photo reminds me of my trip to Flappy Bird Washington last year.

This reminds me of our drive in Iceland.
In central NY we have lots of glacial erratics dropped by the continental glacier.

I used to have a friend south of Issaquah who decided to put a basement under his house.

Being the kind of guy he was he laid out his plans and started digging. Unfortunately he quickly discovered a rock under his house.

Ok... He decided to uncover it and remove it. But he just kept digging and digging. It wasn't just a rock. It was a boulder!

Again being stubborn, he just kept digging. The boulder was 2/3 the size of his intended basement. It turned out to be too large to remove.

Some months later he finally sort of gave up. If he still has the house it has an odd shaped basement with a large rock dominating it.

I think boulders are just part of the landscape on both sides of the Cascades. There doesn't seem to be much we can do about them.

I remember crossing the state in the spring, you always paid attention when you saw the falling rock sign or the chainlink fence on the mountainside.
