Finding local swimming holes were some of the best memories from summer school days in Boone. My son has been on campus less than a week and has already found Compression Falls, on the Elk River. Beautiful scenery, and the jump looks exhilarating. He was excited to tell us he had made the jump and we were excited that he made it back to dorm in one piece.

Looks just like it did in the early '80s. That was a blast.If I did it now I probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed the next day.

My daughter discovered it this weekend. Great, now I get pics of her 30ft in the air instead of on the edge of a cliff at rough ridge.
