Great video! Nice editing, etc., etc., etc. Fun to see the helmet cam POV!

I got to meet Nash (?) from Grouv Therapy on the banks of the Mulberry last weekend. Nice feller. Thanks for using their music so I could hear a sample.

How tall was that last drop? Looked to be at least 20 feet from the upper camera vantage point.

Prob a little less than 20 the bottom waterfall is close to 25 id say

When those drops were at low pool level, we hiked and dropped a line from the top of both. First one was about 17 feet of line (with the bottom of the line sitting on rock). Second, Flying Dog, was a bit more than 23 from the lip of the last edge to the pool level. If you add the step and subtract the extra couple feet in the pool, we guessed it to be a 25 footer "total" with a 21 ft freefall. Hell of a great waterfall.

There's another we measured at 25+ feet vertical in a feeder with a do-able pool. Might be worth a little hiking to get it...

Ahh, Fish and Dog,

brings back good times, back in the days before Go Pro head cams it was difficult to get the good action shots.

Thanks for sharing the video.

Hats off to the guy we call the Gray Ghost, who was nearly 60 years old when he hiked down into WFH for the first-D and dropped Flying Dog Falls. First D on Adkins Cr. too and second on Smith Cr. Great creekin indeed. We had disposable kodak film still cams for those trips - far cry from the HD video shot these days on Horsehead!

Man, five runs on that creek is quite an accomplishment - it 's a tough one to catch for sure. Keep the great footy comin!
