Two years ago, we pushed our mom in a wheelchair to see her 1st waterfall. (Some of you in this sub may even remember) For her 95th birthday we made her 2nd waterfall viewing a little easier. Right off her own private deck. Cheers to 95 years and waterfall #2 Mom.1yr ⋅ notjewel ⋅ r/MadeMeSmile

I retain this weird childhood kind of fear of the oceans rising and killing us all. So sometimes I imagine escaping to the Appalachians and the elevation they provide.

The lore is you cannot pick your trail name. Wondered what mine would be.
