Jumping from High up on Three Falls

Daily Photo

In the middle of winter, I think of swimming at Three Falls.  Here, Grandsons of some of the Back-to-the-Landers enjoy the area together-continuing a tradition that their families enjoyed. One, Jonathan Scoppazi, is leaping from 20 feet above the pool while the other, Ryver Gribi is watching from a rock. 200 years ago, Native boys were probably daring each other to jump from the same place.

The water flow is a trickle compared to one hundred years ago. (Here is a photo taken in July of 1908. Thanks to Ben Schille for pointing out the link.) However, the pool is still deep and cool and the place is magic.
