Trish writes, "This place is a very well known attraction in the heart of Caldwell County, NC. Beautiful waterfalls and natural beauty and landscapes. The hurricane really tore this beautiful place apart. The beauty is that with the community and volunteers Wilson Creek is open for visitors again. The best fun and natural swimming area around. Rainbow trout are known to the biggest coming out of Wilson Creek." Comments | Permalink

Wendy Burt writes from her farm, "AAAAAACK! I’m dealing with hummingbird hysteria here on Melson Ridge! Somehow, I let 3 of the 4 hummingbird feeders go dry. And now I’m feeding both my resident hummingbirds and the earliest migrants . . . using up well over 1 gallon of sugar solution a day." Comments | Permalink
