I will call this rock "Bath tub rock" as on the top of rock is a hollowed out area that would hold water. A fairy tale might begin like this: "In a land far away there is a rock on Rocky point. A fair maiden suggested to the local lads if they would carry water and fill the basin on top of the rock she would bathe in it. So the lads carried buckets of water from the canal below to fill the basin. Many trips were required to get the water up to the top of the rock. At this point the fairy tale gets a little hazzy as we do not know if the fair maiden did bathe in the filled basin or did she just want to see the boys work hard to get the water up the hill and into the basin." I do not know the answer to that question but it makes an interesting tale to say the least. As I drive by this rock I often wonder what really happen at "Bath Tub rock."
