We don't know why.' - crawford

All the mutilation you see there is postmortem.' - crawford

'OK, three days. Then he shoots them, skins them, and dumps them, each body in a different river.' - crawford

'The water leaves us no trace evidence of any kind.' - crawford

My two favorite waterfalls in West Virginia are Mill Creek Falls in the Kumbrabow State Forest near Huttonsville and Whitaker Falls on the Elk River on the Webster and Randolph County lines near Bergoo.

Due to the difficult mountain roadways during the winter, I have not spent nearly as much time at these places at this time of the year.

In December 2015, I was working on learning long-exposure shots and I decided to take advantage of an overcast day to try to take long exposure shots of these waterfalls.

I started with Whitaker Falls, but I realized it wasn’t dark enough yet.

Whitaker Falls was the normal depth and the weather was around 40°F (4.4°C). The water was cold enough the temperature dropped 10°F (4°C) as we walked toward the falls.

Mill Creek Falls was darker so those long-exposure shots were more feasible. I was able to catch the waterfalls in motion.

I loved that bright cold green in the small rapids.

My friend caught a shot of me hopping on the rocks.

And with that, we wrap up my revisit of 2015.

End of the Road Post Office, Elk River, Idaho, 2024.

While not literally at the end of a road, Elk River is about as isolated a town as one can find in northern Idaho connected by a paved road. The official census population is only 125, but it has a quite amazing array of services, including a fine if rather quirky coffee shop.
