    Syracuse NY nce had a huge salt industry a the area was rich in salt wells. Thus the city grew and became a major town in early America. Eventually other industries moved in and Syrancue became a wealthy city.

    Devil’s Bathtub in Scott County, Virginia is similar, in that it is a very beautiful part of God’s creation but it’s named after the devil, or at least a devil. I need to check this out next time I’m in that country.

    Gah, I can't handle heights. I'd have to sit down and scoot out there to even get a glimpse. Glad for your video - it still made me antsy but at least I'm not getting stressed out.

      I thought I had that problem but it turned out to be 'unguarded edges'. Never knew that condition existed till a lady told me about it while we were on a high bridge, she had it. ❤No guard rail or handrail there's no 'me' there. Even with rail I creep up and test it at arms length and will not lean on it. I don't know how I got it because repelling out of helicopters in the Marines, I was fine, but that was over 50 years ago. May have picked up mild ptsd in Desert Storm (civilian DOD employee, not military).
