Kathleen and I drove far South to Kodachrome State Park. The official name of the park came from National Geographic Society photographers who named it after Kodak's color film. The park was formerly called Horley's Pasture. Here we stayed in the pygmy forest after hiking to Shakespear Arch. The arch named after Tom Shakespear, a former park ranger, that he discovered in 1976. When he stumbled on to it, he asked the local old timers if they knew of its existence and they didn't. So now it stands -- Shakespeare Arch -- a name that derived neither from early settlers nor the English playwright, but from a long-time park ranger of more recent memory.
