"(A) sacred stone called King’s Stool on Third
Mountain, the only one that does not touch the Susquehanna River...I hiked up
the ridge and about a mile along it found the tollest thinnest rock pillar i
have seen in my decades of hikes in the mountains of PA. It was about 15 foot
high from the already high ridge of stone and only about 6 X 4 feet wide at the
top. You could easily climb up it inching along a ridge, but to get down had to
slide off the back to the next stone maybe 8 feet below. Now as you can see
from the picture (above) this pillar looks, with no stretch of your imagination,
like a turtle with turtle head and eye and mouth on the bottom (North America
was called Turtle Island by the Natives), then above it 3 coils of a serpent
with the head of a horned nose snake which was a local and Snake God who was
worshiped across the Americas north and south. It was Obviously a sacred place
for sure..."
