A river rock is
causing quite a bit of talk in this mountain
community. That is because on it there is a mark
that has an uncanny resemblance to Elvis
Presley.
The hair, the
sideburns and the collar all point to the King
of Rock. LaDell Alexander was the one to
find it. "I'm kind of a rock hound," she
said.
She bought the rock, which weighs around 23
pounds, a while back in Colorado not noticing
the image it carried. "When I got home and
was rinsing it off, I could see something in the
rock," Alexander recounted, "And there's Elvis,
plain as day, because when it's wet the black
hair really stands out."
Alexander and her husband, Lynn, live in Texas,
but vacation in Estes Park during the summer.
That is where the "Elvis Rock" resides now and
has started to attract attention. George
Frawley owns a bed and breakfast near the
Alexanders and visited their house Tuesday to
have a look. "It is the real thing!" Frawley
exclaimed. "I don't want to get too excited, but
this is big stuff."
The Alexanders plan to put the rock on eBay and
donate 10 percent of whatever they get to a
charity linked to the Elvis Presley Trust.
