From another angle you can see how big this "glacial erratic" rock in the middle of the road actually is! When we drove up, a big 4x4 dually even had to swerve around to miss it. [Mike & Susan, 09/26/2009]

Glacial erratic. McLouth, Kansas - Rock in the Road

Right there in the middle of S. Granite Street at E. Lucy Street is a huge glacial erratic surrounded by asphalt. When the town was being laid out the contractor was unable to dislodge the granite erratic deposited 10,000 years ago by a receding glacier. Since the glacial erratic could not be removed they simply paved around it and left it in situ in the middle of the street.

There are no warning signs so be careful when driving down the street and don’t take it for granite! [Phil Pasquini, 11/01/2008]
