Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls

Maybe we were foolish, but we decided to make our first waterfall chasing adventure with friends.


After talking back and forth for weeks about distance and difficulty, we settled on a "difficult bushwhack" that wasn't terribly long.  And we brought our bushknife.


The directions were simple, something like go down the driveway, through the pasture, into the woods.  Except I think we found the wrong driveway.  


We did pause and ask for permission.  The guy we found in a camper trailer was kind and gave his assent to go find the waterfall "down in the holler".  We found the top of one of the waterfalls, but couldn't figure out how to get down the sheer face of rock to look for the other waterfalls in the ravine.


Our friends headed home, and we drove to a popular (and much easier) waterfall, the Glory Hole.


Even with only a little water, the area shone with God's creativity and delight.


On the way back, after a long day of hiking and climbing and sweating, we really needed a pit stop and some refueling.  We found the Ozone Burger Barn to be the perfect place for both!
