Dick's Creek Falls (lower) **2356 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.

Monster In The Mist2352 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.

Better Than Expected2351 viewsI expected to see a 60 ft falls but, measure this beauty at more than 100 ft.

Lasers don't really like the brush seen at the top of the falls here but, I got consistent marks at over 100 ft and a solid mark at 91 ft.
