In a May 10, 2001 photo provided by Bruce Roberts, shows the stones the massive stones that held up the famous beacon, uncovered and engraved, with the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in the background. 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)
