As I arrived in Virginia, I made my way down to the Natural Bridge. This is a natural rock formation that spans 20 stories high and 90 feet wide, and it's a sight to behold. But what's most intriguing is that the bridge is surrounded by lore and myths dating back centuries. Allegedly, the Monacan Indians used this as a sacred site, and according to legend, George Washington carved his initials into one of the rocks. The geological history of this place is fascinating, and scientists believe that it dates back over 500 million years ago, when this area was covered by an ancient ocean. This bridge is unlike anything I have seen before, and I am amazed by its size and history.
