Expect a few bumps with occasional nonsense. Thank you for visiting.

About the photo and video: I was curious about these large boulders seen being transported from a quarry near my home. Hundreds of them, over two years, some weighing 15 tons, were delivered to the north and south jetties of Humboldt Bay for reinforcement and repairs.

I learned they’re special and specified by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The rock is especially dense and desirable for resisting insistently pounding waves. From Fort Brag to Crescent City, Glendale rock, rocks.
