    What will it be called? Trip marker on CWB



    2008-08-24 - Columbia Western Bypass, just east of Greensburg ST. - Photo By Ed Waggener. The long smooth face in the cut just off Greensburg Street on the Colulmbia Western Bypass is sure to be a trip marking place, and likely will be aptly named by Adair County High School students who will see it daily on their way to school. It doesn't have as distinct animal features as the famous Alligator Rock on US 127 south of Liberty, KY, but is does give a snow dragon in the clouds impression and other imaginings.
