Pine Mountain Trip

The story of the chained rock goes something like this:

Some children of Pineville, Kentucky were having troubles sleeping at night because they were afraid that the large rocks that loomed over Pineville on Pine Mountain would break free and come tumbling down the mountain and smashing into Pineville. Well, the parents of these children invented the story that the rocks were chained to the mountain so the children wouldn't worry and sleep. Before long the story of the chained rock spread to neighboring communities and people started showing up in town inquiring about the locality of the chained rock. So as a publicity stunt, the town elected to turn the story into reality. A huge chain was aquired from a old steam shovel and mounted on the rock above Pineville. The chain can be seen from Pineville appearing to hold the rock to the mountain.
