It will level out for a while before the valley deepens again. Its tough going for a while, you have to basically stay in the stream itself the whole way - the banks get steep and overgrown. Giving up so easily - I'm disappointed. And even after nearly dying in search of those slate river falls too. You guys are getting soft! or old... or both. :) You guys just didn’t go far enough – you got to keep along the creek for perhaps close to a mile past the dam.

It may have been the worst idea I've had in a long time, but the 2nd floor was a pretty cool place. I would not recommend that anyone else try -- the second ladder nearly fell off its supports when I came back down. That would have left me totally stranded on the 2nd floor -- not a fun thought. Also related to this -- you left a <a href="http://dcclark.blogspot.com/2008/07/waterfalls-tobacco-river-falls.html" rel="nofollow">comment</a> on my blog about the waterfalls on Quincy Creek, behind the mill. In particular, you mentioned another large-ish waterfall beyond the old dam. Kyle and I hiked up the stream from the railroad (another somewhat bad idea), including going a ways above the old dam -- but it just leveled out. I don't know where the other falls are -- are they a long way above the dam? We ended up at this building today and I climbed those rickety “stairs” as well.

More than likely the turbine would sit directly on top of the condenser and dump steam directly into it.
