So this spring when I pulled this forest out of its winter bed, I foolishly grabbed the upper rock. The gorilla glue failed, and I ended up with 2 rock planting again.

I ended up cutting a small trench in the soil on the upper rock and drilling 2 3/8" holes thru both rocks. I then took 2 strand barbless fence wire and threaded thru both rocks. You can barely see the black wire in the trench there.
