Like our friend Walleyfish, I feel a tug from the "witness rocks" to touch them and in effect touch history. With that in mind, here is a unique post for WF as well as my friend, @Bee that you can find for yourselves if you are so inclined. Most of us are familiar with the Gardner photograph of Alfred Waud, sketching on one of the large boulders in Devil's Den recorded on July 5th or 6th, 1863. As you see, his left leg is extended and rests on a small ledge on the rock. On the right below, I have my hand resting on the exact spot Waud's rested his boot. Many, including myself, recreate Waud's pose for a now photo. If any of my friends on the forum ever want to follow in Waud's footstep (so to speak) remember to place your foot in this exact spot to accurately match the original image. I will include my then and now of the Waud Rock.
