I blame all the rock & roll 😎
Most of the trails I've been on have been marked with blazes if they're marked at all, so encountering the rock piles was quite the novelty. I'd never seen them before the trip all these photos are from. Lol, I did the same thing with the windmills/wind turbines until I got bored of them too.
Lol yeah, the rock & roll or bloody Instagram and Facebook...All those rock piles make for great rockpile-selfie inspiration. Inspo, I think they call it though. 🙄
