This story has “other world” written all over it. > > The boulder-topped trees are up to a half-mile from the nearest road access, in remote areas of the state forest, miles apart. There’s no apparent reason why the locations were picked, no damage to the trees, and no signs of any type of heavy equipment having been used to hoist the heavy rocks. > > In fact, there’s no signs of anything. > > Except the boulders. \ ---
