Clear Mountain Stream1660 viewsNothing like a clear mountain stream in early Fall, wish this was the case for Joe Mill Fall Upper.

To the photographers left is old tires, household trash and bed springs that made easy entry to the creek difficult.

Makes me think back to Iron Eyes Cody.

Good Falls...Good Folks!1655 viewsWhen one hikes to waterfalls there is always the chance you will meet someone that is Genuine.

Met the owner of this falls land he was just that, Genuine, straight forward and hard to turn away from and take the photo I came for.

Could have easily pulled up a chair and spent the remaining daylight learning about his life.

Falls and Cascdes1655 viewsThe only difficult part of the trail to this point is gong through the crack in a huge boulder, down a little bit of a slide, hanging from a laurel bush and dropping to the floor of the small canyon. Piece of Cake! I did it and I am older than dirt.

Nose Shadow1652 viewsLooks like an animal emerging from the water with it's nose casting a shadow.

Kind of like cloud art? You don't see the nose shadow? Drop us a note and we will paint it red for you.

This is still not Burgess at it's best. Give it some more rain and it will be a tru beast.
