Historic Markers, Update

So, my sister pointed out that we may have seen that "Pile of Rocks" historical marker in New York State while on vacation many years back. I therefore have checked the NYS historical marker catalog, but didn't find it there either.

It is entirely possible that the marker got pulled simply due to complaints over its inherent silliness. On the other hand, considering some of the markers I DID find, it speaks more of a clever commentary on the silliness of many historical markers.

This is the link to the website, where you can find such markers as 'Old Indian Path.' I'm not kidding. The Pile of Rocks one was at least imaginative.

It was definitely NY. :) We were on one of our first camping trips there. it was also at least 18 years ago, though.

yes, since we only have been going for 18 years (since i was one) it HAD to have been more than 18 years ago...
