SECRET WATERFALLS

It's 5:46 a.m. and 39 degrees out and Patrick's outside.

Patrick and I know where there are many secret waterfalls, ranging in size from 3 inches to 30 feet. We occasinally find new ones on our little journeys.Our stretch of the The Wabash River (Huntington, Indiana to Peru) has high Limestone banks in many areas, and literally hundreds of both permanent and seasonal creeks at the bottom of deep ravines flowing into it. When these tributaries encounter limestone, a receding waterfall is created. Patrick and I have actually hiked along the riverbank, walking up and down these ravines in search of new ones. Some are little more than a downhill cascade over rocks, others are fairly spectaaaaaaacular falls with overhanging lips, tunnels cut through the rock and beautiful pools. They are especially neat in winter when they freeze. Frozen waterfalls are one of nature's real treats. I've documented a number of waterfalls by placing geocaches near them. So if you want to know where they are and how to get to them, I'm your man. Carthage must be destroyed!!

Our troop casualty count in Iraq has now reached 2,000, a spectacularly low count considering the mission. God bless their souls. We continue to pray for the safety of our brave troops fighting this modern crusade against the Godless Zombie- maniac vicious barbarians, minions of the Devil who are trying to bring civilization to its knees. No one in history has ever fought an army of demons the likes of this! Death to the Infidels!!
