In an 2003 photo provided by Bruce Roberts, a large group gatheres to commemorate the 200th anniversary of light at Cape Hatteras that began with the first light in 1803. A storm had just passed through and tossed the stones around like toys. When the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was moved 15 years ago, the stones were left behind at the erosion-prone spot on the Atlantic. Hatteras Island residents want the stones moved to the lighthouse so that they are publicly visible year-round and better protected from erosion. But the decision rests with the National Park Service, and so far there is no indication that the stones will be moved. (AP Photo/Bruce Roberts)
