Yes, the Cavendish Gulf Road. It followes a railroad bed with some interesting cuts through the rocks. The railroad cuts were blasted in the 1840's, and is the source of an interesting medical case. An accidental explosion drove a 30" iron bar through the head of Phineas T. Gage, an Irish laborer. He lived with the bar in his head, and his personality changed. He was studied by Harvard Medical School and it is one of the earliest, if not the earliest case studies where they connected personality traits with the brain. Or something like that. Beyond the cuts is the Cavendish Gorge, carved during a flood in the 30's I think. It is hundreds of feet deep. PW Content?
