Harper's Ferry, WVA

"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 (Potomac), 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
