But then came this shot. Talk about a distinctive rock formation! On my next trip to Catalina, I'll search for this, but I thought I'd post it here just in case anyone intimately familiar with the island could identify what I'm officially dubbing, "Terror Point."
Have you seen this rock? |
UPDATE: FOUND! Eagle-eyed reader Joseph P. offers up the below photo from panoramio which is unquestionably "Terror Point." He also directs us to Google Maps where we see it is located in an area called Toyon Bay. This is much further away from Avalon and the Hotel St. Catherine than I would have imagined.
Thank you, Joseph!

ReplyDeleteBy God, I'd say you've found it, Joseph! Wow, that is much further away from Avalon than I thought it would be. Guess I won't be checking it out on my next visit. But I don't have to, because now I know!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joseph P!
