Yankee Tour - Boston, Philly, NY

June 24 - Day 2. Virginia. (Driving to the funeral.) Stopped off at "The Natural Bridge" between Lexington and Roanoke. Just off Hwy 81.

This natural land phenomenon was carved by moving water. The arch is 275 feet tall and spans 90 feet. The land was once owned by Thomas Jefferson. In the 1800s THIS and Niagara Falls were the 2 top visited tourist scenes in the U.S. So it was pretty popular at one time.

Also, George Washington carved his initials here when he was a young boy (barely visible today.) What a neat, shady walk.
