Mon Sep 10, 07 1:52 pm Rooster Rock = C*ck Rock? |

Am I the only one that thinks its ironic that the big rock at rooster rock looks like a giant penis, and that rooster rock is therfore likely the more politcally correct renaming of c*ck rock? Let alone the fact that it is a nude beach, HA

"A large placard near the park's entrance asserts (or once did) that the monolith was noted by the explorers Lewis and Clark in their journal, and that "the name is phallic in origin". To put it rather less politely, the column's original name was "Cock Rock". It is unclear whether the noble explorers themselves named it, or if that happened later. Either way, plain-speaking Oregonians still call it by that name."

The official name change came in the mid-60's according to my late great uncle, a fanatic historian.
