Senior Moments

On April 21, 2001, Betsy and I spent the day at Fall Creek Falls State Park here in Tennessee.  This wasn’t our first date, but it was still very special.  For one thing, that was where I got my first kiss.  Another thing was that it began our twenty-year quest to find waterfalls.

We’ve managed to get back to Fall Creek Falls on April 21 almost every year since then.  We visit the waterfalls — the picture above was taken this year on April 21.  (Fall Creek Falls is on the left and Coon Creek Falls is on the right,)  We were happy to see that in spite of the drought that hit this part of the state last year and earlier this year there was water going over both falls.  We’ve seen less water on other visits.

That first year we hiked to the base of the falls, which is something we are no longer able to do.  I do, however, still try to get a kiss when we visit there!
