I've seen Gooseberry Falls, and I think it's Manitou Falls on the Baptism River. But it was nice to find a falls within an hour's drive of home.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-71176691041215514082008-10-20T13:28:00.000-05:002008-10-20T13:28:00.000-05:00thanks for the geology lesson.

Although with the election, it's all about the result!<BR/><BR/>FC- Somehow my favorite photo in this whole post is the Foxboro sign. A sign, then nothing. And the light was perfect.<BR/><BR/>Britta- Welcome! I spent a little time in South Dakota myself and found I could not live without the landscape around here.

A Wisconsin native who went to college along the Mississippi River and spent my fair share of time teaching backpacking to adolescents in the Apostle Islands and random wilderness of Northern Wisconsin. Thank you for your photos. I'm now on the Great Plains and your photos do my soul good.

I always thought you guys had the better falls up on the northshore though.<BR/><BR/>I lived pretty close to Morgan Falls, which is south of Ashland, WI. It was a pretty high falls down a red granite face, but the creek was small. IT used to be very private. I remember skinny dipping there as a child back in the early 80's with my parents.BurdockBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01174758566322248274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-6065129986442943042008-10-18T10:48:00.000-05:002008-10-18T10:48:00.000-05:00Robert- Feel free to post this on your blog, and t...Robert- Feel free to post this on your blog, and thanks!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-67202513638228425942008-10-18T10:38:00.000-05:002008-10-18T10:38:00.000-05:00Wow!
