High Falls NC

My last post from last week's hike. Some disappointments, after all, that's the way things happen. And definitely a site that was worth all the efforts. And for me it was supreme effort!

The beginning of the hike.

The High Falls

Detail of strange rocky stuff in the roots of the fallen tree (used in header photo) - there may be more along the path...

Very long/tall fallen tree by the path. 

Maybe the same rocky stuff beside the path further along. I wonder if any geography teachers recognize it. The word Tufa came to mind. It was hard enough for several of us to lean on.

I just went to neurologist yesterday...a cancellation meant I didn't have to wait till my February appointment. I liked him, but he said he's leaving, as the other Doctors have already. Working for HCA is not what Doctors have signed on to do...a profit driven outfit which bought out our local Mission Hospital.

There are some good news and not so good news. I'm not ready to talk about it yet.
