My brother contemplates certain doom halfway down Devil's Crotch, Peak 9, Breckenridge. The blowing snow visible at the top of the shot was the last vestiges of a three day storm that left the alpine bowls avalanche prone ... and awesome.
One version of the tale presents the bridge builder and the Devil as adversaries. This reflects the fact that in many cases—such as the Teufelsbrücke[1] at the St. Gotthard Pass, —these bridges were built under such challenging conditions that successful completion of the bridge required a heroic effort on the part of the builders and the community, ensuring its legendary status.
Other versions of the legend feature an old lady or a simple herder who makes a pact with the Devil. In this version the devil agrees to build the bridge, and in return he will receive the first soul to cross it. After building the bridge (often overnight) the devil is outwitted by his adversary and is last seen descending into the water, bringing peace to the community. Each of the bridges that have received the Devil's Bridge appellation is remarkable in some regard; most often for the technological hurdles surpassed in building the bridge, but on occasion also for its aesthetic grace, or for its economic or strategic importance to the community it serves.

Devil's den is an incredible ancient megalithic monument located not too far from Avebury circle. Some researchers think that it was marking a site of an ancient spring. It is part of a unique collection of prehistoric monuments in the ancient Kingdom of Wessex (currently the Wiltshire County).
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury. It consists of a ring of standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds).
Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the first bluestones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC, although they may have been at the site as early as 3000 BC.
One of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom, Stonehenge is regarded as a British cultural icon.[6] It has been a legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument since 1882, when legislation to protect historic monuments was first successfully introduced in Britain. The site and its surroundings were added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986. Stonehenge is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage; the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust.

From Red, Hot and Blue in Williamsburg, Virginia. It was mighty spicy, for me anyway-and I don't usually do spicy-but it was quite good!

A popular mountain biking trail, the Devil's Gulch of Mission Creek is remote from Cashmere on Wenatchee National Forest Land...there was still snow on the trail, so we had it to ourselves with a few wildflowers to cheer us on, but not much color yet...the sandstone formations in a Ponderosa Pine habitat competing with Douglas Firs, this area has been the victim of windstorms, fires, and global warming trends in local forests, but still makes a nice early spring getaway.
