Down Stream *2644 viewsMaybe a ten foot falls but, water was high and it was an easy photo shot, right beside the road to Thurmon, WV.

This road leads to a rafting drop off so watch out for buss traffic, not school bus type...Gray Dog type.

Monster In The Mist2512 viewsWhitewater Falls NC just after heavy rains. The fog cleared like magic for about ten minutes allowing an old friend to get his first peak at the 400 ft. monster.

Just downstream is a duplicate but, a little harder to hike to.
