Description

Those that can can travel to the top. If you blow up the picture and look at the left hand side, you will see the path and some hikers nearing the top. If you look closely at the cliffs to the right of the middle, you'll see a square. This is the remains of a historic 30 X40 advertisment from the early 1900's made of milk and whitewash, made so that the passengers of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad could read it. It said "Mennen's Borated Talcum Toilet Powder" The product was a treatment for sunburn, prickly heat, and chafing. Upon inspection, you can still see the word "powder".
