Yeah, I could use some... question is, are they small enough -- or are we strong enough -- to get them INTO my pickup. Out is easy once I get them home.... (gravity helps <g>)
Two please. I'll take two. Not the big, big ones though, just the big ones. I'd like them to match as well. Round would be good although not necessary. I've been looking for a new pair of earrings.

LOL!!! Great one- better ask Fred and Barney to help you move them though!
The thing about Maine rocks is that they are sneaky. You see the top where the lawn mower hits it and the rock is a nuisance. The sneaky parts are that they might be the size of a football, a VW bug or a greyhound bus. Not only that, but they grow! Rocks conduct heat very well. When a rock freezes, the earth around it freezes before the nearby earth freezes. This lifts the rock. As the ground thaws in the spring other dirt falls down around it and the rock stays up there. Boulders lift a little every year. You see them coming up through roads, driveway, sidewalks and of course, lawns.
There is a limited local market for Maine rocks, but as we all know, tourists will buy anything. Put them out along the road with various prices on them and they will go.
There are many very large rocks in this part of Maine. Interesting is the fact that you can hike on the southern face of the mountains and find huge deposits of granite, which were forced over the top by glaciers. These ice sheets carved out the valleys and formed the rivers to the coast. I live on the western end of the Androscoggin river in Maine and the festivities set for Saturday are on the same river, 125 miles away.
As the glaciers receded and melted, they formed the river and it flowed between the mountains at a width of over a mile. Todays river averages 60 yards wide adjacent to my place. Surficial Geology of Maine - Maine Geological Survey
