Devil’s Marbles.  Just the name is cool. It’s worth stopping just to see what kind of place would warrant a bitchin’ title like Devil’s Marbles.  It turns out it’s more rocks.  But these rocks are tight.  Basically, they started out as a big chunk of granite under the surface of the local area and then over a few (million) years it all eroded away.  The dirt as well as rock.  One day those boulders will be gone and there will just be a big pile of red gravel in its place.  Perhaps there will be different cool looking piles of rocks.  One only hopes. -jp

Devil’s Marbles (Teufels Murmeln)

Die Devil’s Marbles sind Granitformationen die sich quasi über die Jahre hin in Sand zersetzen und dies aus irgendwelchen Gründen in kugelförmiger Form passiert. Schwierig zu erklären, sieht aber verdammt witzig aus und ist ein wirklich faszinierendes Naturspektakel was man sich nicht entgehen lassen sollte. -mk
