Bad Branch...

This week has gone by insanely fast as has this summer in general. Today the boss man sent Pat and me to shoot some footage at Bad Branch Falls just over Pine Mountain. I was horrified to be hiking/carrying a very expensive camcorder ($15,000). I actually fell on my ass once, but luckily I was carrying the (somewhat less valuable, but still ridicuously pricey) tripod.

This was the most beautiful place, Bad Branch. I had heard the name mentioned a few times around the 'Shop but I always just assumed it was another holler. It's not. Think green all around, so much green that it's like you're wearing tinted glasses. There were a lot of rocks, moss, ferns and Hemlock trees. The star of the show was a 50 ft. (ish) waterfall which jutted out the cleanest water in the area (or so I hear.)

After filmming we took a refreshing dip in the chilly, shallow ponds. Won't know if we got any good shots until we watch the tape with Herb tommorow.
