They are called cairns: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairn

Opinions vary on why people construct them and what they mean, but personally I find it to be a landmark of human presence. People pass by it and add more to it, as a way of saying "I was here." Unique and simple expression that you can leave without harming the environment.

How do you find a rock?

Well, you would most likely find a rock under a tree, or perhaps in your own garden. Rocks are pretty easy to find, you just need to know the best place to find one for your area. * Woods- This is the easiest area! You probably can find a couple rocks on the trail, or some off the trail! * Country- It's pretty easy to find rocks in the country because there is often a lot of open space. * Suburbans- It's kind-of easy to find rocks in this area. Since there are some pine trees, try looking under a pine tree. * City- The city would be the hardest place to find rocks, but rocks still can be found. Search around your backyard, dig around if you have to.
