Everywhere you look on the North Shore along Lake Superior, you are reminded about the ruggedness of the terrain. Edges of the roadways are lined with rust and prussian blue gravel and rocks. Within ten feet on the northern side of many passages, are rock sheers. The massive sheets of rock are tilted to remind all who pass that the glaciers were bigger still, and dragged a lot of debris with them as they melted. Frequent rivers, waterfalls, and raging streams also serve as constant reminders that all who go there, human, animal, plantlife, etc. must be tough to endure.
Well, all of those reminders are screaming, "add boulders, add boulders!" So, here goes.....
