So near me is an 200+ year old stone barn that collapsed. My neighbor is good friends with the person who owned it and told me I could help myself to any rocks I want. My neighbor is building a low wall out of them for a patio, and already carted a ton or so into his back yard.
I'm planning on picking through them tomorrow with the kids, and had a few ideas, but was wondering what you guys have done with rockwork, or if anyone had any pics of anything they really liked.

My old man and I are headin' to the hills Friday to do some rock huntin'. Hopefully see some critters, too. Moose, deer, elk, maybe a bear or lion with a little luck.

I'd pass on the moose. They're crazy.
