Nearly every child born here has a connection to their favorite climbing or hiding rocks, or rock caves into which they crawled for adventure or solitude.

"Geologists have a saying - rocks remember." - Neil Armstrong

"A pile of rocks ceases to be a rock when somebody contemplates
it with the idea of a cathedral in mind." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
