Backbone Mountain
Backbone Mountain is a ridge of the Allegheny Mountains of the central Appalachian Mountain Range. It is situated in the U.S. states of West Virginia and Maryland and forms a portion of the Eastern Continental Divide.
Description and geography
Backbone Mountain stretches approximately 39 miles (63 km) southwest to northeast, from the Black Fork near Hambleton in Tucker County, West Virginia to the Savage River Reservoir in Garrett County, Maryland.
The mountain provides a boundary between two watersheds. The headwaters of Youghiogheny River, in the watershed of the Mississippi River, lie just northwest of the mountain, whereas the headwaters of the North Branch of the Potomac River lie just south of the mountain, along the West Virginia-Maryland border.
The ridge is crossed twice by U.S. Route 219, once north of Parsons and again near Silver Lake. It is also crossed by U.S. Route 50 east of Red House, Maryland, which is marked by a Maryland State Highway Administration sign.
Hoye-Crest
Hoye-Crest is a summit along Backbone Mountain just inside of Garrett County, Maryland, USA. It is the highest natural point in Maryland at an elevation of 3,360 feet (1,020 m).
The location, named for Captain Charles E. Hoye (1876-1951), founder of the Garrett County Historical Society, offers a view of the North Branch Potomac River valley to the east. The Maryland Historical Society placed a historical marker at the summit during a dedication ceremony in September 1952.
Accessing Hoye-Crest
There is no vehicular access to Hoye-Crest. The best route by foot is a hike along the Maryland High Point Trail, from a point along U.S. Route 219 just south of Silver Lake, West Virginia at 39°14′43″N 79°29′30″W / 39.24528°N 79.49167°W / 39.24528; -79.49167. The trail ascends Backbone Mountain along an old logging road on Monongahela National Forest property to the West Virginia-Maryland state line. The distance is about one mile each way. The trail then heads north along the state line to the high point. Hoye-Crest sits on private property (Western Pocahontas Properties), though access is permitted.

by: RastaA man had described hollow skies on the wall.
Starlight is bright and the shadows are long.
Than he bring down rusty glass full of blood.
And added picture with the signs of the god.
The tribe fell to knees. Forehead to the Earth.
Nobody knows ‘cause they watched it in first.
Mechanical hands put them up to the skies.
Shaman has betrayed all his words full of lies.
A tribute to sun and devotion were less.
Diamonds and gold aliens left in a mess.
Only the strong got to white blazing sphere,
It turned to flat and disappeared to nowhere.
Ages ago and we turning the past,
Trying to know what were there at the last.
This story’s goes on before some thousands years.
Sun on that wall rushing us to their fears.
Two zero twelve is the time to rebirth?
Knowledge and power are changing my Earth.
So they decided we fallow wrong way
And to come back us the basis again.
Heavens felt crushing steel and concrete.
Nobody knows of unexpected repeat.
Only the strongest rush to white blazing sphere,
