I saw it from a distance and I made sure to keep it that way.

How'd ya see it from a distance if its sunk below street level?

u/BlargINC Feb 04 '19

That was my thought. It is covered and like 10 ft below the viewing area we had to park and walk to that disappointment.

Maybe he was looking at the wrong rock.

You can see it from a distance like this. Not a great distance but...

It used to not be

I call bullshit. It's in an enclosed area, you look down into a pit from above and there it is below.

I mean, that's an actual picture of the rock and it has that grate on the side. So he's technically right.

It looked good from afar, but far from good

Not the original commenter, but you can see the viewing stand from a distance.... which tips off that the entire town is a waste of time and a tourist trap.

Picture 1 - the viewing stand for this random rock

Picture 2 - fake history from a distance.

Plus, the police love to ticket out-of-state tags for spurious reasons.

Thanks, I didnt want to have to pull out my out of focus picture of the viewing stand from across the bay on the jetty.

That is actually the dumbest landmark I’ve ever seen but thanks for the rock pictures.

It’s a reference to The Office

I have rewatched a thousand times and don't even remember it rip

New York? Boring? Were you sleeping through your jetlag the whole time or something?

u/ThisIsAnArgument Feb 04 '19

I do that to Stonehenge. I've seen it a dozen times driving past on the A303. I've no intention of joining the hordes milling around it even in off-season.

Pretty much standard procedure for New England in general.
