This "rock" is about 7 feet by 4 feet amd is sticking about 3 feet out of the ground. If only half is underground it probably weighs 10K. This was part of a large hill farm raising sheep from about 1700 till 1900 and this is the only rock here the old farmers couldn't move with oxen, the rocks they did move and piled up boggle my mind. A friend brought his 50horse Kioti with loader over last year and we spent 3 hours moving and piling rocks on the walls. "F" that!!

Wow! Some of the stuff they managed before the advent of mechanized horsepower is amazing.
Maybe if you hook all 27 (or 28, 29...?) GT's together, you could get to work on something on a larger scale. You'll have to do the math for me, but what kind of horsepower do you have, in total? =] I only have 56 horsepower right now... |

Maybe Daniel could bring over his little Massey loader and lift that rock for you?  |

Nah, That little rock wouldn't warrant it.
Actually, a friend of mine just up the road has a stone quarry, and I'm going to see if I can get him to bring over a rock drill and some AMFO. If he does I'll be sure to post pictures. BOOM! |

Simplehenge is great but in a thousand years, they wont know who "Larry" is. So, you gotta carve your face in the rock with your name under it. It will scare the crap out of them... :) |
