entirely for entertainment. At
seven o'clock in the morning over
one 'hundred automobiles pro
vided by the congregation and
the local chamber of commerce
carried approximately five hun-
dred visitors to tho famous En-
chanted Rock which as a sin
gle granite mountain covers
640 acres and is the largest one-
piece rock in the world. Arriv-
ing at the base of the Rock the
cars were parked and camp ar-
ranged in the large pecan grove
where abundance of mountain
spring water is available.
The ascent of half a thousand
sight-seers was a sight to behold
as they climbed along in single
file for the distance of one mile
from' base to pinnacle of this
giant granite mountain. The
The base is 1410 feet abovosea
level and the top has an alti-
tude of 1820. Attaining the
highest point the visitors look-
ed into space for a radius of 15
to 25 miles and saw peaks of

Mountain and Battle Peak with
the fertile valleys nestled be-
tween the surrounding peaks.
Without delay hundreds of
these people from lower altitudes
rushed to Echo Cliffs the yawn-
ing chasms and caves. Some

Sliding Cave at the same time.
Young and old alike negotiated
the slides through narrow pas-
sages into the cave rooms 200
feet below the surface.
Returning from this climb

The return trip to Fredericks-

places is over 2000 feet above
sea level. They were next stop-

saw the quarrying of red gran-
