Pearson's Falls Recon - 2/4 (1 Viewer)

[Bryanseye]

Who is up for some exploration on Saturday morning? Thinking this may be an interesting area with the road going under a train tunnel and some nearby waterfalls. Lunch at The Purple Onion in Saluda, then asses whether to get back into the woods, up to Sierra Nevada, or say farewell.

Meet at Hwy 14 and 11 (Dimitri's has breakfast if you shoot for earlier) at 0900. Then it is a 30 minute cruise north to the area.

I have not been to this spot before so am flexible to input. I know the restaurant is good for lunch though. I will have at least 1 kid with me.

Wish I could but boys have .

Sorry for the last minute notice on this thing. Looks like nobody else is coming so I may just mozzy up solo anyway but a different route that is closer to me. If you are coming, please let me know and I will run over to the original spot to meet you. Have a great weekend either way!

Nice place

Easy to find?

Easy to find?

No problem. My route was Asheville Hwy out of Spartanburg as a straight shot to the beginning of the road. About half paved, half maintained dirt. A left turn on the other end of the road dumps you into downtown Saluda.

Drinking water since it is still before noon and my company is an adventurous 3 year old. Beer selection is a little hoppy for me but there is a variety. Some wine, cider, and fancy coffees too.

Find any jars with $100 bills in it?

Haha. I was thinking exactly the same thing. I wondered where this tunnel was after that episode.

Ha! Thought about it but the only thing was 4 cans of spray paint floating in the creek. Not a fan of vandals or litter

Yeah was just fixing to say they shot an episode of moonshiners in that tunnel.
