    Tips

    November 29, 2023

    A rock formation near the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers visited by Thomas Jefferson in 1783 and mentioned in his "Notes on the State of Virginia." The supportive rock beneath the topmost slab of Harpers shale in the formation deteriorated and so was replaced by four short pillars in the mid-1800s.
