My Million Dollar Rock – My name isn't even important, but it's Maverick. A Ridiculous (but Real) Conservation Mission

I’m from Alaska, but now live in Idaho, and on the Fourth of July, I was hiking with my Dad when we came across this insane rock—about 20 feet tall, perfectly balanced on the side of a mountain.

He looked at it and said:

“That looks like a T-Rex skull.”

And now I can’t unsee it.

I filmed it, posted it on YouTube, and the internet went wild.

People said:

“Protect it.”

“Start a GoFundMe.”

“I would die for that rock.”

“It belongs in a museum—or a shrine.”

"It was placed by Aliens / Gods"

So… here we are.

This campaign is half joke, half serious.

I’m raising $1,000,000 to try and buy the land this rock sits on—or a nearby piece of land to preserve the area and build something awesome in honor of the rock.

If that exact land isn’t for sale, I’ll find a similar spot in the mountains and buy land to preserve in honor of this rock and dedicate it to what I’m calling “The Million Dollar Rock.”

Worst case? I build a shrine somewhere beautiful and name it after this one.

Donations will go toward:

Land purchase

Rock protection (fencing, signage, and maybe landmark status!)

Content and documentation of the entire journey

And yes… maybe a plaque that says:

“Saved by the Internet.”

A shrine.

A bench.

A statue of The Rock... next to the rock.

I don’t know. But I will honor it.

Let’s preserve the spirit of this ridiculous boulder.

Let’s make something weird, beautiful, and unforgettable.

Let’s save the rock.

Let’s make history.

Let’s be weird together.
