OLD MAN'S FACE AND DEVIL'S FOOTPRINT

On the face of the Lower Falls at Old Man's Cave and easily visible from above, is a profile of an old man. Above this profile is a definite footprint made in the Black Hand stone. Located on highway 374 in Hocking State Parks near Logan, Ohio.

The old man profile does not appear as "easily visible" as the postcard text claims. It appears the photographer tried to capture both the Devil's Footprint at top as well as the Old Man in the shadow below the ledge, but cropped off most of the Old Man's face below the nose. The formation gazes downward toward a pool from beneath a sandstone ledge on the north edge of Lower Falls.
