Figure 3. Large wall of granite blasted out during the construction of the adjacent national home improvement outlet. The vertical stripes on the outcrop are from drilling to set dynamite charges. The nearly horizontal fractures are natural and carry the groundwater in this area, as show by the icicle developed along one. This is from Area 2 on the map.
