So, is The Witches just a pile of rocks or more of a ledge outcropping?
If a pile of rocks were they deposited by glacier or man made many moons ago?

It's a pile of rocks strewn about on top of a ledge outcropping. It is a natural formation.

All of this is so funny to me... Why because this is all about liability.... Some people say the witches aren't distinguishable enough, some think they are.....

As I said once before, if this light house where to happen, then we will end up seeing more over time, in other area's such as middle ground shoal....

I personally don't care either way... what I care about is how it will get funded. How will it be maintained etc.

Now what people may not realize is that there is presedence for this.... There are light houses on Lake Sunapee.....

http://www.lakesunapee.org/lighthouses

I say if people really want to see this kind of thing in place "in the name of safety" let it happen, but don't expect the state to build it, maintain it etc. they answer is already there.... if the state will allow it, figure out how to build it and maintain it yourself.....
