Ghost Fisherman2537 viewsUse your imagination! I see a ghostly fisherman, kind of looking to his left, rod raised, kind of a pin head though.

So, what do you see, and don't say an odd little waterfalls?

Gangway!2521 viewsAfter being flushed by crew members RAT and Bol'dar, old Sneaky here, took an uncontrolled slide down to the bottom of Chestnut Falls, where I was, unfortunately, located.

After a short dance session both Oldalbatross and snake were fine.

Cougar?2256 viewsDo Cougars have rings around their tails and wear a mask?

This very day, Sep. 7 2011 two cougars were killed by the Wildlife folks very near our location.
One News report stated they were backed up by the RCMP for crowd control ??? What the heck were they doing, preventing a stampede back to Victoria?

Actually, old Wally here (a name I gave to this obviously dangerous critter) showed up on our B&B lawn and started to explain the rules of engagement to BJ and Myself.

BJ defended her crew, namely me, admirably.

Northern Rough Winged Swallow2550 viewsDue to the easy access of the nest I will not disclose it's location.

I believe this to be as identified but, if you know it to be another bird please, let me know.

Pinnacle Lookout Tower2434 viewsPinnacle Lookout Tower occupies the spot where an old Fire Tower once stood and is visible from the town of Unicoi, TN.

There is a trail leading to the tower from I-26, Unicoi exit. Better take along some water and energy bars, you will need both.
