Feature Type: Rock Trail: Wetlands Trail Region: Wetlands Elevation: 1110′ Named for: Joel |
Little Joel was unaware that special visitors can name features in Little Wolf Nature Preserve. Naming is often a serendipitous experience, usually the result of the visitor taking a special fancy to something in the Preserve.
When Joel came upon this mini-boulder, he did what every healthy boy would do in his position: climb it! After he scrambled up, we asked him, "Where’s Joel?" To which he replied, "On Joel’s Rocky Rock." And so it was to be!
