Another Pretty Face2434 viewsCould not resist photographing this little cascade just upstream from Bard Falls, located on the Mountains To Sea Trail.

If you have not hiked the MTS Trail, you need to. The trail is so well kept it turns difficult into "just plain pretty'.

No T Shirt2432 viewsBeen there,done that, no "T" Shirt.

One of every "Airdale's" dreaded duties, if you flew out of Elizabeth City, NC was to fly Ice Patrol from Argentia, Newfoundland. About the equivelent of a thirty day sentence in a freezer.

We actually located and plotted Ice Bergs and forecast their course.

Water Cave2431 viewsSteele Creek goes under this big rock, forming a foam whirlpool.

Views from this vantage point are the reason I give Steel reek Falls a *** rating. Note the rope on the rock. This is a very slick area so use the rope to hold on.

This little area can definitely clean your family gene pool.
