The Cascades Video

I don't have a lot of time for blogging right now. Busy with various projects.

However...here's a video of a 2011 hike Carole and I took to see The Cascades near Blacksburg, Virginia. It's an extremely impressive waterfall with a fantastic plunge pool at the base that is perfect for swimming on a hot summer day (which we did).

The famous Cascades.

A leisurely hike and swim.

A truly well engineered hiking trail.

The Cascades

Carole and I drove up to Virginia yesterday. There's a waterfall near Pembroke VA that she wanted to see, and I never need an excuse to go to the high country. So we headed up yesterday afternoon, checked into a hotel, had a great meal in Blacksburg across the street from Virginia Tech, had a good sleep, then drove over to the falls this morning before the crowds could get there. My gimpy knee slowed us up some but we had a good time. I went swimming in the deep plunge pool below the falls. It was great!
