I should clarify, the site where his cabin originally was. It was a great trip, and I love being able to say that I got to go swimming in Walden Pond (which is actually quite huge.)

I LOVE glacial erratics and have made a bit of a hobby out of photographing some of the really awesome ones! I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds things like this fascinating.
