Finding some new North Carolina Waterfalls!

Andy, Boone and I had a great hike/bushwhack today!  It is always a great day when we find some new North Carolina Waterfalls before our buddy Waterfall Rich of http://www.ncwaterfalls.com/ finds them.  I believe that was the case today.

I am not going to reveal the location until I get around to writing the trip report and posting the full photo set, but for now here is a teaser!

If the creek wasn't so cold, I would have waded across for a better angle

to eliminate the Rhododendron on the left side.

Always nice to leave an excuse to get back in warmer weather!

This one was a short distance downstream, but a very tough bushwhack away from the first one

This was along the way to the two waterfalls above

Here is a hint to the location of the (2) new waterfalls we found.  After we got back to my truck, there was still enough daylight to get another short hike in.  So we drove about 10 miles to hike up a small mountain where Iggy made his first appearance of the new year:

The temperatures on the day never got much above freezing and there was a very light frosting of snow lingering in some of the shady areas.  Near the end of the day, we found this little frozen bog where Boone decided to check the stability of the ice.

Has anyone ever made it the the two waterfalls we discovered today?  Can you guess where they are?  Stay tuned for the full trip report!
