Missin' The Old Man
Beachwalker....I too was a huge fan of the old man! I could not go North, be it Maine, Vermont or New Hampshire, without going to see the old man of the mountain! When I found out that the old man had fallen off the mountain that foggy night, I was very upset! Ever since I was a little boy and my parents would take us to visit cousins in Vermont, we would always stop at the Notch to see the old man! It was just a ritual that lasted for years....so when I got older, I would always stop for a look when I was up that way. What an amazing natural formation that was! I fortunately have some great photos of it that I took the last time I was up there. I guess nothing is really forever after all, and we were lucky to have seen it for so many years! I just wish my sons had the opportunity to see it once, but we never got the chance to take them. I wish I had seen that story on TV.
