quote from the article you posted just now craig

"With heavy rains and high winds and freezing temperatures, the combination was just right to loosen him up," he said.
"We always thought it was the hand of God holding him up, and he let go."

gulp (my quote)

"It was unclear when the outcropping actually fell from Cannon Mountain because clouds had obscured the area Thursday and Friday. A state park trails crew reported Saturday morning that the Old Man of the Mountain was gone"

gulp ...........imagine it .
the crew must have got such a land


and the article mentions 'cropping and canons' ..............
good job no one was taking a picture at the time



what a shame
it just gave up the ghost I expect

thanks for this news craig
