This Field Rocks

Tucked in a shallow valley in northeastern Pennsylvania is a mysterious geologic feature: 16 acres of sandstone boulders. Science Friday took a trip to Hickory Run State Park's "boulder field" and spoke with Megan Taylor, environmental education specialist, about why the rocks collected there. Could you find any place close by that you could find this many rocks in one place?  What do you think about this area how did it form?

Most creeks have many big rocks in them i am confused why. But maybe because rocks are mostly foud under the ground so the ground eroded away and left water and rocks ontop.
