Big Fall Creek Near Where I Grew Up

I grew up about 25 miles from here along Big Fall Creek. My father had nine acres there where he raised cows, pigs and chickens. We also had a small orchard along with grapes, also a huge garden. It was a great place to grow up! Today that property sits beneath Fall Creek Dam. So when I pay a visit, as I did today, things are much different now. But this scene of Fall Creek at a spot just below where our property was hasn't changed all that much. It was so beautiful there and still is along the creek just below the dam. Seeing the young fellows there on the rocks brought back memories of days when I roamed the banks of Fall Creek.

Brings back fond memories of that childhood home for me too. I spent a lot of time on Big Fall Creek. My sister Sharon and her husband, Elvin Carter lived next door to the Neets. The two Neet boys about my age roamed the hills and creek. John and Lillian McGillvery lived nearby. Fond memories. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely scene, makes me just a little home sick as I used to fish in the Fall Creek area. Back, way back when I was young. V

A superbly composed image. Gorgeous! It must have been wonderful to growing up on the farm. Kind of sad the the dam has resulted in it being covered. V
