SOUTH SHORE, Ky. AP – It’s an 8-ton boulder that for decades sat, mostly forgotten, in the middle of the river that separates Ohio and Kentucky. It was a navigation marker for boaters that became the canvas for such fine art as a stick figure-like face with two dots for eyes and a dot for a nose chiseled into it.

Was it marked by Native Americans Or was it more of an amusement for the people who plastered names on it such as Kinney, D. Ford, F. Ayers and J. White
