I own a waterfall. Waterfalls in this part of North Carolina are so commonplace that they didn’t even mention it when we bought the property. It wasn’t on the listing; it never came up in the sale. Only after we’d closed did the former owner say, “Oh, by the way…”
It’s a pretty spot in the summertime.
Looks like a very pleasant place to be on a hot summer day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. They're quite rare around here, so any hike that takes you to a (likely seasonal) waterfall is usually full of other people. To get to one away from people you usually have to hike at least five miles in, and I can almost never convince my beloved (who always wants to see water on a hike) to go on a hike that long. But we have other things.
ReplyDeleteYou can see water? How quaint!
DeleteJust kidding, sort of. The closest free-range water is bright red, and rather salty (yes, there was a wager involved). It also likes to suddenly rise, which is why the sign “If sign under water, do not attempt to cross” exists. It is NOT on the same post as the flood gauge. If the canyon gets a rain like that, then the old waterfalls become active.

Haha! Yes, we have no shortage of arroyos around here that are dry most of the year. Even moreso a few miles inland when you reach the real desert.
DeleteOn a hot summer day, the evaporation off that rock wall may make for a refreshing cool place to be. We have a waterfall also, but it is at the bottom of a deep ravine and hard to get to. A curious formation- the stream cuts though deep gravel and sand deposits, until it hits a thin coal seam, then flows along with a coal creekbed till it breaks through and establishes a new level.
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of low-head waterfalls in this part of the state. The size you have is mostly only up in the White Mountains.
