Well, this made my day at least ...

It's almost disappointing now that we finally know how the rocks actually moved. Still worth a visit whenever I'm out there though.

I thought that it was the lizards pushing them late at night but they obviously were very light footed and didn't leave their tracks.

That's how they move in the summer.

Thanks Graham, that's solved that one. One less mystery.

Joe mentioned Ghosts...

Now perhaps they can solve the "Ghost Car"
