Hanging Rock Falls
Indiana 7
Madison, Indiana
For Mother's Day I decided to take Mom to Madison, Indiana as she's been bugging me to take her to one of the many city's outside the Cincinnati area who's business depends on antiquing. My mom who's 79, recently had a stress test and angeogram so I knew she was going to get worn out quickly which is one of the main reasons I chose Madison, as it's been boasted that there's over 50 waterfalls around the city and I knew Mom was going to need a rest. As luck would have it, rain would set in and continue throughout the day. After a couple hours Mom was ready for a rest, so back to the car we went and I drove up the hill to Hanging Rock Falls. I've drove past this falls several times but it was when there was no water flowing whatsoever. On the way up I discovered there were 3 more roadside falls all of which would need some more flow to be worth any attention. Hanging Rock is about 40 ft. tall, there is no splash pool as it has been concreted over and the water just hits concrete and then flows into a drain. I got several perspectives of the falls, and many of the shots I purposely included cars headlight trails and I may post one or two of those in the future (difficult sky in those shots). Afterward we drove over to nearby Hanover College and I did a little looking around for 3 waterfalls that are supposed to be roadside near on the campus. I did find them but they all were below the road and I saw some trails leading off along the cliff line, but I wasn't going to leave Mom in the car for any length of time to discover where they led, so looks like I'll have to save those for later. Then we went back to the city and Mom was ready to continue on checking out the shops. On our way out we stopped by a restaurant called The Key West Shrimp House for dinner and I'll tell you what, they have the best shrimp north of St. Augustine, Florida.
