    Tome for a taxi ride to the rock. Over 700 stairs straight up. The steps are cement. They were wooded steps at one time and Jeanette's grandfather and uncle used to come out here on every weekend and her uncle would climb the stairs. When he came down they went to the farm for a rest. I'll bet, I know what it was like for me to climb them. There is a set of stairs behind these to go down. Can you say narrow!!
