Description Suggest change

A scattering of boulders in a low talus field above the railroad tracks and the Lake.

Location Suggest change

Park at the South Shore lot and walk along the railroad tracks until you see the old electric fence. This is the talus field next to (south of) Birthday Rocks and below Horse Rampart.  The rocky ridge above the center of this talus field is "Lothar's Ledges."  

Go up to the right of this for quick access to "Heel Hooker", "Ocean Floor" and "Ice Queen".  Duck under the fence and go up to Birthday Rocks for "Bigfoot" and "Fukness".

Bonamici refers to this area as the "Railroad Talus" - not to be confused with the "Railroad Amphitheater" area, which is farther north beyond another tiny talus field.
