Thread: Hanging Rock 2013 Vic Aust

Tweet

The reference to "Hanging Rock" caught my attention and I really liked that flamed pickup. To me "Hanging Rock" refers to a large rock which juts out over Route 23 in Gulph Mills Penna, just west of Philadelphia. That rock has a rectangular notch in it from trucks repeatedly hitting it and many trucks have been damaged there. The rock resists destruction because historically local lore says that Gen. George Washington stood there to watch over the Continentel Army marching to Winter Quarters in nearby Valley Forge in 1777. Clearly the rock is a hazzard but it does not bother cars, just tall trucks. Since the road travels between two steep hills and is parallel to a creek, widening the road is not easy and so it has remained for over 200 years. What was the source of the title "Hanging Rock" for the meet you have shown? Just curious.
