A Tuscarora Quartzite Formation in West Virginia
Someone has quite a view from their home! Fortunately for the rest of us, motorists can view Champe Rocks from WV28/55.The historical marker tells us that:
Near Champe Rocks is the home and grave of Sergeant John Champe who was sent by General Washington and Major Lee to kidnap Benedict Arnold, the traitor, from within the British lines. The daring plot almost succeeded.According to a Wikipedia article, John Champe was originally from Loudoun County, Virginia.
