This is amazing!!!!!

I'm told that there is a huge rock near a gravel pit on Hwy.25 in rural Iowa.

For generations, kids have painted slogans, names, and obscenities on this rock, changing its character many times.

A few months back, the rock received its latest paint job, and since then it has been left completely undisturbed.

It's quite an impressive sight.
Be sure to scrolldown and check out the multiple photos.

I thought the flag was draped over the rock, but it's not. It's actually painted on the rock too.

Hobie, how did you come about with your 'hobie' user name?

[Lil Star]

Does it really matter?  I saw the other day where hobie signed up on C/A as the same one. I suppose that is who it is here as well. I hope 'hobie' enjoys his/her visit here and participates in various forums.

[Lil Star]

I like this rock. I think it is just awesome! I received this very same email and just did not know how to post it on the forum. HOW did you do that hobie?  Seems you have some 'skills' that I need to have as well.

I would think my reasons are the same as for most people. A user name usually depicts the interests and lifestyle of the party chooing it. No I did not sign up on C/A.

It wasn't really skill. I just clicked on the pictures and hit save as to my picture folder. Then at the bottom of the post hit attach and picked the pictures I wanted

I am going to have to try that when I get home this evening from work. It sounds pretty easy in fact. 

I do hope you are enjoying yourself hobie.

Yes it matters as I said in another post I couldnt get in with my normal name so signed up as 'hobie' at C/A, I used that as my secondary name if someone already has my primary taken. So over the years I am signed up in many sites and forums as 'hobie', thus my concern.......

If your primary name is reddogs then you have used your primary name and thus the needing to know what was behind 'hobie's' name shouldn't really matter. Maybe s/he doesn't want to reveal the reason. However, if I remember right, the reason was given as to how they came up with the name 'hobie.

Yep, I will repost what 'hobie' posted as to the reason behind the name.

I would think my reasons are the same as for most people. A user name usually depicts the interests and lifestyle of the party chooing it. No I did not sign up on C/A.

hobie

To me, that should be the only reason needed. Don't you think?

It might be fun to have a whole topic as to why people chose their user name. The origins of my using hobie reflects an interest of mine. . I have many interests that I share with others as I get to know them and become  friends.
I try not to be to intrusive when replying to those I  have not come to know

Your post is just a tad bit misleading it seems to me. You said...

For all the years I have been reading C/A,I don't recall a user name of reddogs. Nor did you mention you had re-registerd as hobie on C/A. The closest user name on C/A to reddogs is redwood.  A man that raises red dogs and has many times posted almost verbatim your views and concerns over hearsy and gossip. But for a bit yet, redwood is not allowed to post on C/A. I would think redwood could honor his few days of "time out" by not re-registering under another name.
Perhaps over five years or so I have missed reddogs as a user name .

That is fine my friend, no biggie, I will just have to adjust the user name at those sites so there is no confusion...
