Little Stony Upper-21905 viewsBJ bought me a harmonica to prevent my singing of "Shenandoah".

I know, this ain't the Shenandoah Valley, but it sounds pretty good on the mouth harp and, it does, prevent my singing.

Falls 1A1853 views Falls 1-6 are located on Clinch River State road 627 downstream from Spears Ferry or US 23. None appear to be wet weather falls and one measured more than 150 ft.

This is where you take the old folks, like me, and they do not even leave the car to see the falls.

There are several more small falls we did not take the time to stop and photograph, maybe next time.

Dressed up Abram's Falls1916 viewsWith a fairly good camera, polarizing filter, haze filter and good cloud cover we dressed up Abram's Falls.

Don't expect to see this with the naked eye, it's about 1.3 seconds of exposure.

Maybe the most dangerous falls I have been to. If it's wet the trail and overhang could become very slippery.
