He stated: “It is very uncommon that I plan something however I do have a particular challenge deliberate.”
Subsequent 12 months John is planning to journey to The Llano Earth Art Festival in Texas to compete within the World Championships. The World Rock Stacking Championships maintain competitions which are taken very critically, placing a highlight on one of the historical human actions.
Occasions embody competitions for constructing the tallest rock stack, greatest rock balancer, greatest rock arch builder, most rocks in a single tower and most inventive rock stack design.
