Snake Rock

My brothers and I played among these rock formations in Stony Run Valley. I often felt there was something mysterious about the site. Years ago my neighbor Dorothy told me stories about the site being a location for "gypsies" and "travelers." I didn't doubt her for a second as she told me tales in Pennsylvania German. I reimagined myself in this egg tempera as an older man standing astride the rocks, and retelling the tales.
