Mt. Verstovia got some snow

I learned something recently (from my friend Paul) that I appreciate knowing. You will often hear Mt. Verstovia called Arrowhead, because the tip of it resembles an arrowhead.  And if you call it Arrowhead, you will often be corrected and told, "Arrowhead is actually about 2 miles that way," as the person points. So why is there a mountain that is not given much attention the one that actually gets to be named Arrowhead?  Because a cartographer didn't like one mountain having two names: Arrowhead and Verstovia.  So this cartographer moved the name Arrowhead to arbitrary peak, and that has led to much confusion and annoying corrections I'm sure. Now that you know that, I will share some pictures.
