One More Set of Pictures

I am stuck on the pictures. LOL

All of these pictures were taken in 1950. If you click on the picture, it should bring it up into a larger size.


Some waterfall around Cherokee.















A tunnel in the NC/VA mountains.


















Unknown rock formation.














The little sign says "Lovers Leap".
Blowing Rock, NC




I found this information on Lovers Leap at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lover

An brighter local variation of the standard mythology surrounding locations named Lover's Leap is evident regarding Blowing Rock, a mountain outside of the eponymous town in North Carolina. The legend begins with the customary introduction of a young lover leaping from the cliff. Instead of plunging to his death, however, the man is saved by the strength of a sudden gust of wind. The gale blows him back into the arms of his sweetheart and he is saved.
