Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, told us about the most recent Mystery Photo. “Today’s photo features Chimney Rock, a 315-foot granite monolith that towers over a 14-mile-long gorge that is part of Chimney Rock State Park in Rutherford, N.C. Chimney Rock State Park is an 8,014-acre park that is located 25-miles southeast of Asheville, N.C. It was established on May 4, 2005 and under normal circumstances, it was a popular tourist attraction that received over 400,000 visitors a year. Unfortunately, the state park is currently closed as the surrounding area and village were severely impacted by the destructive forces of Hurricane Helene that ravaged the area with major flooding and landslides on September 27, 2024.”The photo came via Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill from Ann Royster of Shelby, N.C.
Others recognizing the mystery were Cindy Evans, Duluth; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; John Moore, Duluth; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Bo O’Kelley, Murrayville; and Anne Lebaire, Gainesville.
