Shakespeare Arch?

 

[Titans]

@Titans of had je liever een Nederlands antwoord gehad?

@Henk - leuk, maar het is niet eerlijk tegenover de rest!

Fun hint! I need to get some neighbor kids involved with the imagination rock part tomorrow, unless someone figures it out before then.

Shakespeare Arch

It's not Shakespeare Arch, moreover this Arch is no longer with us, it sadly collapsed spring 2019!
Funny you mention this name, in the UK the 2nd person just vaccinated is William Shakespeare!

@Titans, what a surprise, are you a (still?) Dutch speaking American?

Deense met een beetje Twents accent . I rarely have the chance to speak Dutch anymore, but spoke it fluent for 14 years. Met Rick in Bergen op Zoom. He is limited to a few important words like "Pilsje a.u.b.".... It's difficult after 2 decades to keep remembering the grammatical three genders (masculine, feminine, neuter) of everything, but reading Dutch is still super easy. So your Arch photo was titled "schermafdruk", that's when I knew Then you followed up with the nice photos from Hoorn in the Covid thread.

Now- the Arch.... I have asked 5 kids for help, but currently they are snow boarding, playing soccer etc... so it might take a little time still for the rock imagination part.

The earlier picture of the tail only seems to be too difficult so here one from the other side with the complete arch attached.

I like your imagination, but looking at this tail it is much more ferocious than that soft paperlike tail of a rattler

I'm of 100% Dutch heritage, but the only complete sentences I can put together is the words to Ere Zij God. My folks would also sprinkle a few words conversation when I was growing up, but I don't know how many of those I know - a lot of them I thought were just English words, or intentional mispronunciations for effect (i.e. stofzuiger).

@ Regehr, you got it, Scorpion Arch it is, your turn!
Looked it up on Google, everybody takes the picture from the "wrong" side so the sharp tail is hidden behind the bushes.
Like i did here


On the Hole in the Rock Road drive 28 miles to Early Weed Bench trailhead.
From there it's about a 5 mile roundtrip to see both Scorpion and Brimstone Arch.

@LarryBoy it's a pity your folks didn't teach you more, as a kid it's a lot easier than later on and knowing an extra language always comes in handy, i.e. the sentence you still remember would be very useful visiting the Dutch Bible Belt.
"Stofzuiger" is a perfectly normal Dutch word, literally translated "dust sucker" i.e vacuum cleaner!
At the moment our stofzuiger sucks (English meaning) so it doesn't suck (zuigt) very well, we have to buy a new one!

I'm not sure they knew any more than they taught me, as both sides of the family have been in the States for several generations. But stofzuiger is kind of a funny word (as you alluded to) so I suppose it's uniquely resilient in the family lexicon.

Funny enough, I speak a good Spanish (majored in it in college), and I think that's actually impeded my ability to pronounce Dutch. I typically lapse into trying to pronounce all non-English words as if they were Spanish, which is problematic, because Dutch is much closer to English (as Germanic languages) than Spanish is. The vowels are particularly tough.

ok, sorry for the delay. what's the canyon we're in here?

 

[Udink]

I'm too lazy right now to look it up to confirm, but Troll Bridge in Pritchett Canyon?

Ednah Natural Bridge
