I took a bike ride along Mill Creek near Ansted, WV today. The terrain and the creek are impressive, and I've read that people actually kayak Mill Creek, which I find to be absolutely bonkers, as it plunges almost 1,000 feet in elevation its last 2 miles, and is filled with boulders ranging from table-size to house-size. With all of the rain we've had recently, it was stronger than I've ever seen. One can usually walk well out into the creek channel on a bare rock shelf in #3, but the current was vicious today. #3 is looking directly at the top of #4, a plunge of 25 feet, with large rocks just below the surface of the water. There has been a fatality at these falls.
Several times I have climbed down into the ravine to photo this waterfall from below, but not today. Not only was the water considerably deeper, but both paths down to the base of the falls were very wet and there had been a rock slide on one. The other path looked like it could give at any time, so I turned around. This sequence covers a short distance of about 1/2 mile ending at the falls. X-T1 + XF 18mm.
