Photos from June 2013 I was told of a rock not too far from me that resembled a Native American face, appropriately named Profile Rock. The stone face is found on Route 42 between Catawissa and Bloomsburg. Unfortunately, it’s also located right at a bend in the road,...
Now that’s a deep hole. This is allegedly the largest pothole in the world, though I haven’t seen anything official confirming this. The pothole was found accidentally in 1884 when miners were blasting underground. The pothole was cleared out and was initially a privately owned tourist attraction. It’s...
The Maid of the Mist is a boat (there are several Maids, really) that takes off from either side of Niagara Falls and brings tourists almost next to the bottom of the falls. You get a tour of the basin and surrounding area as well. The “Mist” part...

Actual dinosaur footprints? In their original location and undisturbed? NOT plaster casts? I had to see. As a kid, I was big into dinosaurs. I know most kids were, but most kids also thought of them as big lizard things that ate each other and cavemen. I could...
