My parents once told me that the large boulders and rocks in the area known as "The Boulders" north of Phoenix were man made. I believed it until I was 13, and while driving through the area announced my fact to my friend and her parents. Much to my dismay, they laughed, and told me the truth of the matter. Really now, tons and tons of rock and giant boulder, man made!
