Middle Falls ***2285 viewsThe middle falls on Flat Laurel Creek is a *** because of the descent and ascent from the trail. Done worse but, it can be tricky. 00000

Big Falls2210 viewsMount Hardy Falls is measured at over 100 ft and even though it was a dry spell still had pretty good water.

This is a MST trail falls and is not hard to get to but, has some laurels and of course slick rocks.

Makes up for the Laurls.2065 viewsI should know better than hike with Tom, ends up the same way, in the laurels and slick rocks.

Lower Bubbling Springs Falls2128 viewsNever get enough of seeing a falls new to me. As I get older the rocks get further apart and even more slick.

If I get much older I will not be able to see the next rock.

Summers Almost Gone2461 viewsAn old song goes something like, Summers come and gone and Winters coming on....

This old pony has a few too many battles in his past and looked dejected with the chilly Fall winds blowing.
