My dad loves to travel and we manage to make enough money as a family to do so. Thus, I got this idea. I have taken several rocks and written my name (Trevor White) on one side and the name of a continent on the other (in the case of the United States, I have Eastern and Western US. Antartica is absent because I ran out of decent rocks). I have been to many of the continents on these rocks already, but I think I will again in the future. When I go to one of these places, I will leave a rock and take a picture of its location. Then, not only will my name be literally all over the world, but others can seek out my rocks and maybe do the same thing themselves!

I scratch my name on walls and pee into every water source everywhere I go.

There's a wooden Noah's Ark somewhere near Amish country in Pennsylvania with "Jesse, Brad, and Adam: Real Pirates" carved into it.

That would be one of the "unsavory things" you do, right?

I thought it was a quite desirable trait.

I return! Pictures forthcoming.

Wow! You already went somewhere?

You should do something like this... were it not for the lack of originality, having copied someone who copied a movie.

Hey! I also do that!

Pictures at last!

The Eiffel Tower in France, of course. I left it on the ground some hundred yards ahead of it with a good view.

Behind an African waterfall. That gray lump in picture two is the rock.

Very scenic, but there's some guy who jumped into the photos at the last second!
But seriously, you're lucky to have gone to those places.

If customs officials get you, you could face a federal offense for tampering with natural things, or something.

I don't think you have to declare rocks. Besides, I think all of these were potential skipping rocks (which, of course, you never actually skip when they're really good) I found near bodies of water, so they could've all come from Ethiopia for all I know.

Yellow rocks are best.

Rock #3 has finally been placed--in North America! (Linked because of largeness and my computer's inability to feasibly load Photobucket editation pages)

Yes, I could've done it anywhere, but I wanted it to be in a unique, natural place, and where better than near Mt. St. Helens on a 20-mile Boy Scouts-related hike?

Pretty cool. I would like to do something like this one day. Can you put a rock in Michigan.
