“Does anyone know if Ms. Terrell was especially negative on Trump in her news coverage?”

More like... Does anyone know if Ms. Terrell was especially negative on Hillary in her news coverage?

I found it odd that several other news stories said that she fell 125 ft while the Washington Compost said that she fell 185 feet.

Rainbow Falls is one of the most spectacular waterfall settings in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. This 150-foot tall waterfall is impressive, especially after rainy weather that swells the Horsepasture

July 21, 2016 - 41NBC news anchor Taylor Terrell died today at Rainbow Falls - one day before her 25th birthday. She was wading in the river somewhere above the waterfall, slipped, and the swift current swept her over the 125’ falls to her death. Do not get in the water between Turtleback Falls and the top of Rainbow Falls for any reason! Ms Terrell isn’t the first person to die here, and unfortunately she won’t be the last.

Beautiful pics of the falls at the link.

Found this humorous:
“If you stay on the trail heading up past Turtleback Falls, you will arrive at Drift Falls in less than 10 minutes. People used to slide down the 60-70ft incline and the falls was referred to as Bust Yer Butt Falls.”

Yosemite has a few spots of bare rock that tempt hikers to go a little farther out on bare rock for the best view-—and they are covered in crumbly dried lichen that turns to slippery dust underfoot.

I would only worry about a homicide angle if she was especially negative on Hillary, if that's what you're thinking.

” It takes very little moving water to knock a wader off her feet and take her where the river wants to take her. I know;”

Swiftly moving shallow water can be much more powerful than people expect. My friend’s wife was cooling her feet in the river after a hike in King’s Canyon in the Sierras. She was by herself. My friend and another couple went to meet her and she was nowhere to be found. Her body was found a week or two later, downstream.

Yikes! Thanks for the heads up, if I ever make it out there! :)

I hear it's one of the most beautiful National Parks.
