My cousin Ron introduced me to McLaughlin Falls a few years back. He was showing me the land owned by our great-great granfather in 1860 and the cellar hole of house. I could hear the falls and he guided me to the bottom. Wow! You feel as if you've left this world for a place where time stands still and the atmosphere is serene. It is worth the short hike.
