But what a sweet little waterfall. I know all about too many pictures. Yours are great. What happened to the town in the 1940's? Nice that they were able to restore the buildings 50 years after the fact or perhaps the movie studio did some of it in the 60's.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.com
