Steel Creek Cascades2443 viewsUnable to reach the main falls due to water levell that prevented crossing creek. I will come back, prepared to cross the creek. Al alternate route, up the right side of the creek is not really an alternative unless you have a fondness for Laurel bushes, steep slopes, and leaf covered rock.

Snake lide2443 viewsAfter being flushed by RAT and Bol'dar, old Sneaky here, took an uncontrolled slide down to the bottom of Chestnut Falls, where I was, unfortunately, located.

After a short dance session both Oldalbatross and snake were fine.

Welcome To Tennesse2442 viewsIf you happen to be traveling North on I-26 and have just entered Tennessee, stop at the very first Rest Stop and Welcome center. Just across the Interstate is Clear Branch Falls.

Go under I-26 and turn right at the stop sign. Proceed past the Church and as you descend down the hill keep a lookout on your left. Just past the last house is Clear Branch Falls (upper). After that keep an eye out and you will see Clear Branch Falls (lower)
