Luckily the location is remote, there?s no roads/structures below it and
it?s not well-known. Matter of fact, I?ve yet to find anyone who?s heard of
it.
We might not have that long to wait for it to come down. This view shows
the condition of the underlying support. Hidden within the dark recessed area is
a Geocache.
The anaglyph has a lot of problems and really needs to be re-shot, but I?m
including it for the sake of the discussion.

Good one, Art. The base is perfect to show the unevenness
of the terrain. The rock sure looks precarious. It is a piece of art made
by mother nature but I wonder if anyone has suggested helping it along to
its eventual demise in order to prevent possible injury.

Here?s another shot of the rock from below. A rough guesstimate of
its volume is close to 11,000 cubic feet, and at 166 lbs/cu ft, the
granite block is about 1.8 million lbs. The contact area of the pedestal
it sits on is about the size of a car hood.
As someone else has said, I wonder when it will come down? The
pedestal is part of an old volcanic feature called the Mehrten formation
which weathers fairly quickly. The big rock is a glacial erratic, left
behind by glaciers which passed through the area.
