Camping at Jack's R!ver

For Labor Day weekend 2006 we went camping at Jack's R!ver in the mountains of north Georgia. The weather was wonderful considering the reports were predicting thunder storms all weekend. The hike from the parking lot to the r!ver was about 4.5 miles. There were 7 people in our group (Er!c, Jane11, Todd, Gil, Jen, Mark and Kristin). Here are some pictures.

(1) View of the main pool from up on the cliff. You can jump from this spot into the water (maybe 18 - 20 feet down). (2) This is the view from another good jumping spot. The object is to jump into the pool of water just below the waterfall. This jump is also about 18 - 20 feet.

(1) Todd sitting on the edge of the upper waterfall. (2) Jane11 jumping off the upper waterfall - 8 or 9 feet. (3) Some guy doing a cannonball off the 20ft cliff.

Mostly Self-Explanitory
