Hedge Apple?2461 viewsWe found this, one of natures little oddities, along the Great Allegheny Passage, one of our many bike trips.

I have no idea of it's usefulness but, if the Major Leagues decide to go green, I'll be on the leading edge of the national pastime.

Top Of Salt Creek2461 viewsTook this photo right after praying for an elevator to the bottom.
Classified as a Plunge type waterfall. Well,it does that, all 286 ft. of it plunges.

Oh, no elevator but, at least, BJ had smarts enough to not go with me.

Monster In The Mist2454 viewsWhitewater Falls NC just after heavy rains. The fog cleared like magic for about ten minutes allowing an old friend to get his first peak at the 400 ft. monster.

Just downstream is a duplicate but, a little harder to hike to.
