OK, I didn't take pics in Fredericksburg - but at least when we took a drive to Enchanted Rock - my g/f's hubby had his camera with and shot a few for me.

Conni and I at the entrance:

The rock:

and a closeup of part of it:

And we stopped just down the road to take a pic of this BIG guy:

Unfortunately, we just drove by and stopped for a moment- I do want to go back sometime and look closer. The history of it is really neat, too.

Oops, thought I said - that is granite. Doesn't look the same before it's cut and polished, does it?

ok,..... the Adirondacks are granite based. Of course worn smooth by glaciers eons ago.

Did someone say hike? Roe and I are in. Interesting picture, Beth. Reminds me of Stone Mt., GA, except no carvings in yours.

Liz,
I thought of you and Roe when that pic was taken - and now with Diana interested also - we'll have to make a trip over there - it's close.
