Rock in the Road

McLouth, KS | Jefferson County

If you're on Granite between Cynthia and Lucy, watch out! There's no warning sign, no caution light, just a big glacial boulder parked in the middle of the street. It's the darndest sight. You're welcome to stand on it, kiss it, take pictures of it! Apparently the rock was there long before the town, and when time came to build the street, the stubborn boulder simply couldn't be moved. The asphalt around it has built up over the years making the rock look much smaller than it really is.
