Boiler?2506 viewsI found this near an old power plant t Burgess Falls, TN.

Have no idea what it could be but, thought it might be an old boiler except it has concrete in the bottom?

Any info appreciated.

Top Of Squibb Creek Falls lower falls **2500 viewsLou and I took the hike up Squibb Creek after a night of heavy rain. If your thing is creek crossing this is for you.

The round trip is about five miles and with the water level high and a trail not much different than the creek, a grand time was had by all.

We found getting to the bottom of the falls, with the high water, was a little risky hence the top photos.

I recommend this trip just for the fantastic cascades below the Falls.

Dick's Creek Falls (lower) **2494 viewsThis Falls is one of the prettier small waterfalls in the area of Limestone Cove.

I only rate it as ** because of the two mile hike, one way, and the mud holes from vehicles.
