…Martin Creek is as fine an example as any of a clear mountain stream. Bartram’s “unparalleled cascade”, the grandest and highest of the three cascades on the creek, is certainly as beautiful as it has always been, but it was the lowest section of falling water that I was most taken by. Here the stream runs with “irresitable rapidity” through a series of deep potholes sculpted in a narrow passage through the bedrock of the mountain. On this hot May afternoon, a cool mist rose from the cascade of cold rushing water.
