Fishin Hole1609 viewsThe most remarkable thing about this falls was the lady there that was fishin in the Clinch River.

She was alone so I tried to reassure her I am to loo old to be a threat. She didn't seem to worried anyway and the fishin pole seemed pretty deadly to me.

Took my photos of a trashed waterfall and left, wondering if waterfalls by the road is where tires go to die.

Another one of life's mysteries that I'll work on when I get the urge to venture forth on another solo mission.

Good Falls...Good Folks!1655 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.

Lower Puncheon Falls1682 viewsAs you can see Lower Puncheon is the remains of an old mill.

Tennessee has many of these old mills and I just wish spillways could talk.
