LEGEND

IN THE SOUTHEASTERN PART OF VIRGINIA, THERE IS A MOUNTAIN WITH
A 200-FT. DROP. THERE WERE TWO LOVERS WHO WISHED VERY MUCH TO GET
MARRIED, BUT THEIR PARENTS FORBADE THEM TO DO SO. THEY CLIMBED TO
THE TOP OF THIS MOUNTAIN, JOINED HANDS, AND LEAPED TO THEIR DEATH.
THE MOUNTAIN HAS BEEN CALLED LOVER'S LEAP EVER SINCE.
