 I did come back!2528 viewsI don't like top down photos but, this one shows my destination, the rock where the water disappears.

My first visit was a flop. This time, with a little more experience
(how much more experience does a 74 yr old goat need) I made it to the top.

As this Trillium blooms with the return of Spring, so will Buffalo Mountain Camp bloom.

 Mill Creek Falls 2525 viewsAs easy as it gets! The falls is on private property but, being a camping ministry, they are easy to get along with. Please, check in with the camp.

 Pinnacle Lookout Tower2520 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.

 Little Qualicum Falls-32517 viewsLQF-3&-4 are the same view with focal point and exposure time differences. My preference is the darker photo with the closer rocks as the focal point, rather than the falls itself.

Backbone Rock.jpg
 Backbone Rock2514 viewsLocated on TN 133 about 5 miles from Damascus, VA.

The arch is man made for old logging trains. Note the size or the tunnel compared to the lady standing in it. Also notice the notch in the top of the tunnel. That is so the smoke stack of the train could clear the top.

While visiting the park, there is a waterfalls behind the photographer and a cascade in the park behind the lady.
