Wheels of an albatross2452 viewsOldalbatross's trail transportation. Comfort bikes are great for us in the geriatric set.

One of the many high trestles along the Virginia Creeper Trail.

Beware The Serpent2448 viewsPanthertowns portal to the upper falls of Panthertown Creek is guarded by this Rock Serpent.

Legend has it that those who litter here should have the serpent to fear.(I just made that legend up)

Dry2447 viewsDon't drive to Big South Fork to photograph this falls unless there has been significant rainfall.

I would classify this as a wet weather falls.

That said, Needle Arch is just down the trail, less than half mile.

BJ and Needle Arch2445 viewsJust to show how tall Needle Arch is BJ stands under it. Actually she is a Ham and didn't even know the arch was there.

Told you!2442 viewsHey, Molly told you I could dress it up.

Doesn't the little frosty cascade make Lower Stony look good?

I did come back!2440 viewsI don't like top down photos but, this one shows my destination, the rock where the water disappears.

My first visit was a flop. This time, with a little more experience
(how much more experience does a 74 yr old goat need) I made it to the top.

Both Plunges2440 viewsPhotos really do not do Brdal Veil justice. These are huge cliffs with two 600 ft plunges.

Good Directions2437 viewsMet these folks just above Catheys Creek Falls and they were kind enough to give us a short cut to Bird Rock falls, Thanks. The dogs must have moved just as I snapped the camera.

Pinnacle Lookout Tower2434 viewsPinnacle Lookout Tower occupies the spot where an old Fire Tower once stood and is visible from the town of Unicoi, TN.

There is a trail leading to the tower from I-26, Unicoi exit. Better take along some water and energy bars, you will need both.

Little Quailcum Valls-22432 viewsSurreal Qualicum.

With the aid of polarizing and haze reduction filters this is what the camera viewed.

Pronghorns2431 viewsA pair of pronghorns at Brice Canyon, UT

Down Stream *2431 viewsMaybe a ten foot falls but, water was high and it was an easy photo shot, right beside the road to Thurmon, WV.

This road leads to a rafting drop off so watch out for buss traffic, not school bus type...Gray Dog type.
