Panther?2512 viewsCould this possibly be a Rock Island State Park Panther?

Since being ordained a Tennessee citizen, way back in 1976 I have heard the stories about panthers that lurk in the mountains.

This was sighted right out our back door when we checked in at the park.

Should I have listened to Lou and not risked our life and limb by checking in after dark in a place where waterfalls emerge from cliffs, but have no visible river?

To find out, check under Planes, Trains and Odd things, Critters answer no. 2

Hemlock Falls 32509 viewsSorry but, due to time constraints, the falls located in Cloudland Canyon State Park, Georgia, are of poor quality and both tint and contrast were adjusted to make them usable.

Near darkness!
