"Another thing I have been doing, which I hope will be carried on after my death, is the carving of mottoes on the boulders at Dogtown, Gloucester, Massachusetts. My family says that I am defacing the boulders and disgracing the family with these inscriptions, but the work gives me a lot of satisfaction, fresh air, excerise and sunshine. I am really trying to write a simple book with words carved in stone instead of printed paper. Besides, when on Dogtown common, I revert to a boyhood which I once enjoyed when driving cows there many years ago."

Roger Babson, "Actions and Reactions", 1935

4/30/06 - I went back out to Gloucester and found all the boulders! (With help from Bill Duffy's GPS locations) Took a million photos too. Look for a Flash animation of the Babson Boulder trail walk soon.
