which was simply one of the most beautiful natural attractions in the United States. (One of the employees there told me the Park, which is privately owned, is for sale; hope the new owners will be as scrupulous about keeping it natural). George Washington put his initials on the side while surveying it and Thomas Jefferson bought it from King George III. Anyway, I was admiring the waterfall that ran down the hill by the steps and was told that it was nothing compared to how it would usually be this time of year, but there's been a drought. I see that the Governor of Virginia is requesting drought assistance.
