As most of you know, Betsy and I ‘collect’ waterfalls. We enjoy finding waterfalls, since they give us a great excuse to get out in the great outdoors. We’ve been to some beautiful and awe-inspiring places on our visits to waterfalls. We usually research an area (online and through books) and try to find and visit as many waterfalls as we possibly can.
This past weekend we spent a couple of days in northeast Tennessee and visited several waterfalls. The waterfall in the picture above was one of them. We knew that not much could be seen from the road since it was a small waterfall and was in a small gorge.
I’ve become pretty good at bushwhacking (for an old man), so I went down into the gorge and was able to get a better view and the photo above.
But I also found some other things that weren’t apparent from the road — garbage bags, old televisions, tires, and even the old car pictured above.
Hogskin Branch Falls is no Niagara, but it could be a pretty place to visit. Why do we feel it is okay to trash any part of God’s beautiful creation?
