Jun. 21st, 2004 06:33 pmI got this picture today, it's from my last trip.

It was taken by a local who sits next to one of the curves at Deal's Gap and takes photos all day, then sells them from his website. Like those photo shops at the exits to the roller coasters at the amusement park, where you can get your picture as you went over the big hill. I remember seeing this guy there taking pictures and I worried that he was a cop. There were two accidents up there that morning, and one fatality. I figured the cops would be out in force, so I was being very law abiding just in case. Maybe that's why the picture turned out well; usually I just look clumsy in these kind of shots. Anyway, someone sent me a link to the website and I decided to reward this fellow's industry by paying the $5 to get the picture from him. It's a better souvenir than most things people try to sell you when you're on vacation. Though I couldn't help but wonder if he got any pictures of the dead guy. :-(
