RE: Linville Gorge and Falls in North Carolina, USA

in #nature6 years ago

@violetmed,

Beautiful photos. They made me want to go fishing ... and pan for gold!

The rocks in the gorge tell a story hundreds of millions of years old, as does the river that carved it ... Nature never fails to amaze. I grew up on a horse farm in Nova Scotia and we had a river that flowed through our property. That first picture triggered a hundred memories. We used to go swimming beneath a similar-looking waterfall and our German Sheppard would invariably try to save us from drowning. Of course, those dog-paddling paws with claws were like an advancing meat grinder so we'd have to flee from salvation lest we be reduced to ground hamburger. :-)

Thanks for sharing.

@quillfire, that sounds like a great time maybe minus the dog trying to save you! :) Yes, I would love to go fishing there also! Apparently there are gem stones mined in some mountains in North Carolina near here. Haha, not sure about gold.

@violetmed,

Gold, gems, a trout with tartar sauce ... you take what you can get. :-)
