Blood Super Moon over The High South!

A total lunar eclipse occurred all over North and South America between the evening of Sunday, January 20 and the early morning hours of Monday, January 21. This image was taken about 11:58PM, Sunday.

As this supermoon was also a wolf moon (the first full moon in a calendar year), it was referred to as a "super blood wolf moon" due to the red color of the Moon - caused by sunlight passing through the Earth's atmosphere.

Warm Weather = Get Outside = Waterfall Hikes

With heavy rainfall over the past two weeks, area waterfalls are thunderous with an amazing display of power!

Check this quick video from Christina Fleegle on YouTube.

Dry Falls is one of the easiest waterfalls to reach and walk behind!!

https://youtu.be/84BQQ50Ar04

Dry Falls flows on the Cullasaja River through the Nantahala National Forest. It is part of a series of waterfalls on an 8.7-mile stretch of the river that eventually ends with Cullasaja Falls. Dry Falls flows over an overhanging bluff that allows visitors to walk up under the falls and remain relatively dry when the waterflow is low, hence its name. Visitors will get wet if the waterflow is high.

Dry Falls is located on the side of U.S. Highway 64 3.1 miles north of Highlands, North Carolina. There is a parking area on the side of the road, where visitors can park before walking the short path with stairs to the falls. (wikipedia)
