Big and Little2281 viewsBig Jim is on the starboard and Little Jim on port.
(for Sandcrabs port and left have four letters)

Big Jim is my living history lesson for an area called Bumpass Cove. He can tell you waterfalls can be dangerous. Broke his back as a child falling from one, living up Patty Creek.

They are in pictured in California Fields, TN. Where there are more bears than folks. That's
because the Forest Service owns that area now.

Melisa2263 viewsHiked with her and two other crew members to Gentry Creek Falls. Besides being a joy to be around she is a better hiker than I. Mel, you are always welcome to take the lead on my hikes.

She found the first Geocasche I have seen, up under the falls.

ADF2261 viewsHis crew position is more like an instrument, Aviation Direction Finder. The reason for this title is his ability to rapidly ascend ridges I will only see from an aircraft, and find alternative trails when searching for "new" falls.

An excellent Woodsman I am fortunate to go waterfalling with.
