Big and Little2296 viewsBig Jim is on the starboard and Little Jim on port.
(for Sandcrabs port and left have four letters)

Big Jim is my living history lesson for an area called Bumpass Cove. He can tell you waterfalls can be dangerous. Broke his back as a child falling from one, living up Patty Creek.

They are in pictured in California Fields, TN. Where there are more bears than folks. That's
because the Forest Service owns that area now.
