 Yeah, Skunk.1654 viewsLet's just say unusual name. Don't let the low rating fooll you. The road crosses the falls about midway up, the part in the photo. If you decide to photograph from the bottom youu are looking at a *** rating.

This part is about 150 ft high. See the house uon top? The falls come through their yard.Apr 03, 2013

 Twofer1694 viewsHere is an odd waterfall. Two creeks merging at nearly opposites directions, plunging over rock walls into a common creek below.

Hard to explain but, you can drive right up to these falls and see for yourself.Apr 03, 2013
