A 1986 view from Lover's Leap into the Cumberland Narrows. You'll see the WMRY, National Pike (US 40) and CSX (though I refer to it as B&O) from this vantage point at the top of Wills Mountain.
Of course, the name Lovers' Leap and the legend are both very overworked! And you probably already know about the legend of the Indian girl and white boy who wanted to be together but the girl's father wouldn't allow it, so they leaped to their deaths-assuring they would be together forever! Fortunately my lady's parents approved of us being together and we didn't have to resort to that ourselves!
If any of you have had to do that-leave a comment and let me know!
Also included is a view of Cumberland itself. If one looks hard one can make out the WMRY station area at 2:16, though it's slightly obscured.
Shot with a primitive VHS camera/recorder on May 12 1986. Home video has come a long way since!!
