Hard To Miss325 viewsCan you see th person in this photo? So many visitors were present that one can only Lightroom out so many.

Hills Creek Falls may be taller but, it can not possibly be more crowded with folks. I will be visiting Hills Creek with my handy dandy laser in the near future.

Down Stream *443 viewsMaybe a ten foot falls but, water was high and it was an easy photo shot, right beside the road to Thurmon, WV.

This road leads to a rafting drop off so watch out for buss traffic, not school bus type...Gray Dog type.
