Forest Service2386 viewsMet this man at the Catawba Falls, NC trail head.

I'll use him to just say thanks to the U.S. Forest Service for all their work on our trails.
Because of their work we have access to one of the worlds great resources, the United States Forest.

If he lets me know his name I'll make him a CREW MEMBER, a distinction most try to avoid.

Our first English crew member2384 viewsWhat a delight! Gordon is a farmer from England and in very good shape. Hiked to Sill Branch and Pine Ridge Falls with us.

Not all Englishmen are from London. We have a lot in common, both being from farms.

A foot bridge is located just below the falls and you can see the city from there as your walk across. For more information http://www.viator.com/Quebec-City-attractions/Montmorency-Falls-Park/d626-a966
