Erwin's Best2089 viewsEven in low water conditions Martin's Creek Falls, just up the creek from BJ's home town of Erwin, TN, shows off.

I just remembered why I love this part of our great nation.........of course I was thinking of BJ, don't think I would get all squishy about a creek running over a rock, do you?

Thanks Mary2087 viewsThanks Mary, wherever you are. The falls is great and made even better by the strenuous hike to it.

On the round trip we rock hoped the creek 34 times. The last half mile off trail in a timber strewn creek.

It had no name so I named it for my Granddaughter.

Not for everyone.2084 viewsGet in shape before trying this one. There was storm damage well before the 2011 tornado that hit the area and it is over logs and without a trail most of the way.

If you are in good physical shape this will be fun and check your resolve. But, hey, I am old so I SHOULD be tired.
