Jawbone Falls

Jawbone Falls off The Riding Ford Trail, Panthertown Valley, North Carolina...My first capture this morning on a 6.4 mile hike through Panthertown Valley, including the Panthertown Valley Trail, The Devil's Elbow Trail and The Riding Ford Trail...Jawbone Falls is so unique... The Tuckasegee River streams down on the river right resembling a shoulder length of grey hair, beside the escarpment to the river left resembling a bazaar facial profile with a pronounced lower jaw and chin, thin lips and a wrinkled, protruding stubby nose...Perhaps nature's literal adaptation of a Mountain Witch or the grim and sinister "Judaculla," the troll of the Appalachian Mountains.
