Hidden Tennessee Waterfall

Cummings Mill Falls, located in Putnam County, Tennessee is as hidden as a waterfall can get.

This natural area is located on private property. The owner has given the public access at their own risk.

I had some Buyers who are big time hikers and wanted to see some TN waterfalls.

To see the big falls from below you have to rappel down the side of a mountain about 150 feet.

My Buyers where not up to rapelling but they enjoyed the rugged hike and views of several mini falls.

This was my first Tennessee waterfall experience when I moved here several years ago. I continue to go back each summer, winter, spring & fall to repel to the bottom for a day of swimming and taking a waterfall shower. I do not advise those who are not experienced hikers or rappelers to attempt going to the bottom but for the average hiker the pictures here will be your view.

I will get back out to the falls soon so bookmark this blog for more photos of the big falls and repelling.

From Crossville take I40 West to Cookeville. Take the Willow Ave Exit. Turn right at end of exit. Continue through Cookeville on Willow avenue. After you pass college continue about 15 miles to Cummings Mill Rd. Turn Left. Continue about 7 miles, go over bridge and look for pull over areas on your right. Follow paths to falls.

Crossville's Fifth Street Mural.

 Crossville's Fifth Street Mural "Downtown" was completed in April of this year 2008. Artist & New York Muralist Kaite Yamasaki along with student artists and community members, created a master piece for all of us to enjoy.

Made possible by a grant to the Tennessee Arts commission, The city of Crossville and several individual donations.

The Bright colored Mural reflects and showcases the history of Crossville and Cumberland County. Including Native Americans, Agricultural, Pioneer & Military past, Religious life and local organizations and landmarks.

Thanks Tennessee and all who helped bring a "New" landmark to life that we all can enjoy!

Standing Stone State Park

 Standing Stone State park's name comes from the Standing Stone, an eight-foot tall rock standing upright on a sandstone ledge, which was used as a boundary line between two separate Indian nations. When the rock fell, the Indians placed a portion of it upon an improvised monument to preserve it. The stone is still preserved today in Monterey, Tennessee.

Located in Overton County, Standing stone is over 10,000 acers in the north-central Cumberland Plateue of Tennessee. This unique and rustic park is known for it's hiking trails, camping, scenery, wildlife, wildflowers and Tennessee natural beauty.

This park is a must visit location and there is no better time than now. Some of my favorite things to do at this park include Hiking, Fishing, rental boats, staying at the group lodge and swimming. Overal this ourdoor experiecne can releive stress and bring you back to nature in know time.

While playing a mean game of UNO last night!

 While playing a mean game of UNO with my furry friend "Merlot" I started thinking about other ways to give back to our community here in Crossville, Tennessee.

My team and I Traci Fant & Deb Short of F1RST REATLY COMPANYfirst started with the idea of giving a percentage of our sales to our local Cancer Society. Traci also gives a percentage of her sales to the local school her son Dasa'n attends.

There are so many organizations and charities to give to but starting with your local area is a big plus. Simply call the organization of choice and let them know that you would like to donate a percentage of your next sale "Simply to help". 1% up to 10% or more, that is up to you.

This is your choice to do something to help others because "You want to help". In return the possibilities are endless, but most of all you may save a life or help someone in need.

(An important factor brought to my attention by "Deb Short". = When you call the organization, find out how much actually goes to the cause! This could be a deciding factor for your choice)
