Possible solution:
according to the Canadian GeoNames server, there is a Cathedral Rock near
Manitoulin Island in Lake Huron, the LaSalle part possibly refering to the
French explorer? Here's the reference -
Province/Territory : Ontario
Feature type : Mountain
Location : Manitoulin
Latitude - Longitude : 45 48' 46" N - 82 14' 40" W
NTS Map : 041G16
Hope this helps -
- Nick

Alice,
Could it be La Jolla, just north of San Diego CA?
