my buddy came to town


My friend and old roommate Andrew came into town this past weekend. He's currently working as a computer programmer back near his home near Ohio. He came in Friday, and we cooked some lasagna and had some other friends bring some salad and dessert (brownies). The meal was delcious and we spent the evening playing Settlers of Catan. I'd be surprised if anyone knew about this game. Let's just say it's a strategy game that lasts longer than Risk. hahaha.


Saturday was pretty awesome because we went north to Tellico Plains (about 1.5 hrs away). We enjoyed some cliff jumping and waterfalls.

This is the spot we went cliff jumping. The waterfall is on the right side, and you could actually sit down in the river and slide down the waterfall into the pool below. This spot is called Baby Falls.

We got there in the morning so after some sliding and cliff jumping, we grabbed the lunches we had and headed down the road to the 4th biggest waterfall in TN: Bald River Falls. (see below)

As you can see the weather was gorgeous. After lunch we ended up climbing up and standing underneath the gushing water. It was pretty incredible. We found a cove where we could stand behind some of the falls. It was loud

I'm afraid Prentice Landing seems a bit tame by comparison, but it's what we have and I'm headed there now. Wish you and your friends were here.
