	Cumberland Falls Trip
		This was a nice weekend trip to what is known as "Niagara Falls of the South" or Cumberland Falls, KY. I will say ahead of time the falls would have been a lot prettier had they NOT had as much water running over them.
		The entire eastern seaboard has been overly wet with some areas having already had twice as much as their normal rain fall for the year by the time I took this trip, June 7th and 8th.
		This time last year the falls probably had very little water running over them which I am sure made them equally as less pretty as Niagara Falls.
