There are falls. You can hear them from that rest stop place, but you can't see them. The creek runs under the bridge behind ecurbh here and the falls are to the right. (That bridge goes on the 15 mile loop we did with Becky, we didn't got over it yesterday, we went back across the metal bridge you always see) You have to walk around a little ledge (no horses) to see the falls, so we hardly ever do...

They aren't ~big~ falls, here they are :~)

Oh COOL! They may not be big, but they sure are pretty. I love to hear waterfalls. They sound so soothing. I'd love to have one right outside my window.

I know whatcha mean about hardly ever walking to see something. There's this huge beech tree out in the Forest that's supposed to be the largest one of it's kind in the state, and it's not too far off of one of the horse trails we ride all the time, but I've never seen it because we'd have to tie the horses somewhere and hike a pretty good piece down into a cove to see it. I was always afraid to leave the horses alone for that long for fear that they'd either a.) get loose and leave my butt out there to walk home, or b.) somebody would mess with them or hurt them while we were gone. We could ride down there, but you're not supposed to and will get fined if they catch you, and it's a fairly popular hiking destination so your chances of being seen would be fairly high, at least on a weekend. Also I think the trail is kinda steep and rocky so you'd have to be really careful. Lots of people use that horse tail to hike in to see the tree, but it's too dang far from the trailhead for me. It's 4 or 5 miles, so it's not like I couldn't do it, I just don't want to. Is that pitiful or what?!
