Good Falls...Good Folks!173 viewsWhen one hikes to waterfalls there is always the chance you will meet someone that is Genuine.

Met the owner of this falls land he was just that, Genuine, straight forward and hard to turn away from and take the photo I came for.

Could have easily pulled up a chair and spent the remaining daylight learning about his life.

Just plain weird225 viewsYou don't get to myage and not see things most folks would think odd but, this is really andodd thing.

The water just squirts out of the cliff face, not over the top edge of a cliff but, out of the cliff face and below it's top.

Now that I have learned which end of the camera points to the falls I am going to return and get better photos.

Dry509 viewsDon't drive to Big South Fork to photograph this falls unless there has been significant rainfall.

I would classify this as a wet weather falls.

That said, Needle Arch is just down the trail, less than half mile.

Squibb Creek Upper Falls **472 viewsThis seems to be the upper most falls on Squibb Creek but, that could be a geriatrics view.

Lets one practice creek crossing, if you like that sort of thing.

Top Of Squibb Creek Falls lower falls **501 viewsLou and I took the hike up Squibb Creek after a night of heavy rain. If your thing is creek crossing this is for you.

The round trip is about five miles and with the water level high and a trail not much different than the creek, a grand time was had by all.

We found getting to the bottom of the falls, with the high water, was a little risky hence the top photos.

I recommend this trip just for the fantastic cascades below the Falls.

Dick's Creek Falls (lower) **432 viewsThis Falls is one of the prettier small waterfalls in the area of Limestone Cove.

I only rate it as ** because of the two mile hike, one way, and the mud holes from vehicles.
