Old 'Devlish" Yearbook from Idaho; Possible 'Devil's Hand' formation in southeast Idaho

                  Old Grace High School (Idaho) yearbook cover.

SOME mascots/themes probably wouldn't be universally acceptable now.
Prime example: I was looking again at my mother's 1946-47 Grace High School--Idaho yearbook and it sports a startling cover (see photograph above). The Grace Red Devils was the school's mascot from the school's inception, until 1978, when it switched to the Grizzlies instead, after a controversy over the satanistic name.
(The "Sun Devils" mascot is still in place at Arizona State University, though.)

     This weird formation is found along Highway 34, between Thatcher and Preston, Id.

-Strangely enough too, about 30 or so miles south of Grace on the way to Preston, Idaho, on Highway 34, is what my Mother always called the "Devil's Hand" formation, shown in the picture below.
An older cousin of mine has always called it a "dinosaur track."

                                      A 'Devil's Hand' or a dinosaur track?

Irregardless, the formation is somewhat startling -- and you can decide what it resembles.
It is located at the top of a hill on the east side of Highway 34. The formation is found south of the Bear River crossing, below Thatcher, and north of the Treasureton Reservoir.
 To best view it, you have to park to the south of it, or above it and walk down; or backtrack and park nearby. (Just be careful as the speed limit here is 65 mph.)

This photograph and story on the "Devil's Hand" was published in the Idaho State Journal on Nov. 17, 1971.
