Into the mountain...

"The passage of the Patowmac through the Blue Ridge is perhaps one of
the most stupendous scenes in Nature. You stand on a very high point of
land. On your right comes up the Shenandoah, having ranged along the
foot of the mountain a hundred miles to seek a vent. On your left
approaches the Patowmac in quest of a passage also. In the moment of
their junction they rush together against the mountain, rend it asunder
and pass off to the sea... This scene is worth a voyage across the Atlantic."
~Thomas Jefferson
