Below: Panther Falls Road
(FDR-315) is a narrow, curvy, gravel road, 3.5 miles long, with steep
drop-offs and ditches. As Lee Duquette drove their car, Karen Duquette
tried looking as far ahead around the corners for on-coming cars. |

Below: The hike
was short and level and not very hard, although the two RV Gypsies did
have to be careful not to trip over multiple tree roots along the way. |

|
Below; The two RV Gypsies
found the trail to be muddy from being crossed by small streams. They
recommend caution and proper shoes on this and all hiking trails. |

Below;The two RV Gypsies arrived
at Panther Falls just as a group of young people had finished swimming,
so the nice youngsters took a photo of Karen and Lee Duquette. |

Below: Then Lee Duquette took
a couple of selfies. Lee Duquette has finally learned to smile while
taking selfies. Often he is so focused on what is in the background
that he forgets to smile. (Oldsters can learn new tricks) ha! ha! |

Below: This is where the young
people had been swimming when the two RV Gypsies first arrived here.
An undercut ledge rings the pool and currents can be strong, making
climbing out of the water challenging and requires caution. Not something
to two RV Gypsies want to do, especially in this cooler weather. |

Then it was time for the two RV Gypsies to hike back to their car. |
