When the girls were younger we used to sit up here and plan out our fantasy house on the island down below.
Not far from where this picture was taken there is a huge metal cross painted white on Maiden's Cliff. As the story goes, a church group was picnicking up on the mountain and the wind caught a young girl's hat. She chased it right off the edge of the cliff and died.
I picture that it was a pale straw hat with a blue ribbon.
The story has always given me a shiver up my spine every time I stand up there looking down, and an especially big shiver when I'm up there with kids.
