Clear Mountain Stream1768 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.

WEST OREBANK FALLS SUF003_1200x900.jpg
Orebank Falls West1767 viewsThe reason for the West falls is that a culvert separates East and West parts of the falls.

These falls border on an oldalbatross award for trash

Falls and Cascdes1765 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.

Lower Puncheon Falls1762 viewsAs you can see Lower Puncheon is the remains of an old mill.

Tennessee has many of these old mills and I just wish spillways could talk.

Nose Shadow1760 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.
