We stopped at Devil's Elbow on the Big Piney River to see the 1923 Bridge and Elbow Inn, on Old Route 66 in Hooker Missouri. Bridge was being worked on but, we found a group of cats and Kittens to entertain us. Unfortunately the Elbow Inn was closed on Sundays.
The devils arrows or bolts are 3 standing stones which sit next to the A1 at Boroughbridge by the river Ure. It is thought that there were originally 5 stones. (Alternative Names: Three Grey Hounds, Three Sisters)
The stones are composed of millstone grit and it is suggested that they date from around 2,700 BC and was carried here from Knaresborough. The lightest one weighs over 25 tons and stands 5.5m high. The 2 tallest stones measure almost 7m high.
The name Devil's Arrows is thought to date from the end of the 17th century when people believed that walking 12 times around the stones anti-clockwise would raise the Devil!
There are several legends about the stones associated with the Devil. The most popular legend is that these stones are the Devil’s crossbow bolts. He was aiming for the Christian settlement of Aldborough from Howe Hill but fell short by a mile.
Another is of how the grooves were made in the stone, which were actually made by centuries of erosion. The story is that the Devil tried to hang his grandmother but she struggled so hard that the ropes cut into the stone. When she broke free he tied her to the next stone. This continued until he ran out of stones to hang her from.
Yet another legend tells of how a local Chief of the Brigantes tribe held a meeting to discuss the merits of the new Christian religion over the existing, but dying out, Druid system.
The Devil arrived in disguise to try to sway the people back to the old Pagan religion, but someone spotted his cloven hooves which were melting the ground beneath him. After being found out, the Devil flew off in a rage, leaving pillars of molten rock behind.

Along the Oregon coastline is a fascinating hole in the rock that fills with water, then empties enough that you can walk down inside the giant "bowl"

I'm in a wacky dance group called The Devil-Ettes. My hubbby has a kid's indie pop band called The Time Outs. We both got to perform together at this year's Maker's Faire. It was pretty fun!
