Buttermilk Falls After a Solid Rain
After Wayne's Boy Scout Troop 104 did their cleanup and stream fortification at the base of Buttermilk Falls at High Mountain Park Preserve a couple of weeks ago, I thought I'd come back and check it out after a steady rain.
The water was spilling down the falls with vigor, and it stayed in the stream bed once it hit flat land, as a result of the scouts' work. (Below.)
The whole area around base of the falls looked terrific as well. (Thanks again, Troop 104!)

It really looks rejuvenated! What a nice pool collecting at the bottom also. Thanks Troop 104, you really accomplished a wonderful thing. It is so much more picturesque now.
