eastatoe falls

Near Rosman. This little gem is located on private property, but the owners graciously allow visitors. On the way up their driveway, you pass two ponds (pictured center), and there is a neat footbridge that crosses downstream from the falls. I want to write these folks a letter to thank them for sharing such a beautiful gift!

cove creek falls

Near Brevard. Backpacked in and camped slightly downstream from the falls at an awesome site along the Caney Bottom Trail.

waterfall on cedar rock creek

Near Brevard. We first visited this falls a few years ago. We decided to hit it up again while we were in the area and met a very nice group of hikers from Augusta who scored a pretty awesome campsite just upstream from the falls.

looking glass falls

Okay, I'm finally catching up the blog after a week of workshops and a long weekend of hiking and camping. I'm going to take you on a photo tour of our hiking adventures in and around Brevard, Rosman, Lake Toxaway, Cashiers, and Highlands. Bear in mind that the next 15 or so photos were not necessarily taken on the day I am posting them, but they are in order of visit. The photo above is of Looking Glass Falls near Brevard.

on the prOWL

At 7:30 this morning, I convinced Seth to come along with me for a fun morning of yard sale hopping and Bo'Jangles, of course, which helped the coercion tremendously. For some reason, he couldn't imagine why on earth I wanted to buy a set of these brass owls. He just doesn't see the potential (yes, there will be an "after" post of this one...).
