I’d be curious to learn what induces those boulders to take nearly the same path.

looking at the size, I’m assuming they will landscape around those boulders.

I didnt carefully read the article, which may have mentioned at what time of the day these boulders came to rest, but I’d hope it wasnt while the family was asleep...

Funny.
J was driving down Bear Creek Road in 1979 and just as I approached sleep Bear Creek and Hgwy 17 there was a huge boulder on the side of the road with a Fiat resting atop of it, as if it were placed there.
Never heard how it happened

Me? I would have built the house with the BFR between me and the slope, rather than on top of the anvil...
