Hollins Mill Black Water Creek &quot;Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it.” Lao Tzu

At the Base of the Falls “Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes - every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man.” Orison Swett Marden The land at the base of the falls was almost developed as a resort area in the late 1960s. Land owner Hugh D. Bolton put up “No Trespassing” signs and stated that he wanted to create something called “Living Waters.” The residents of Nelson County encouraged involvement from the forest service, who had purchased acreage around the falls since the 1930s through small acquisitions and land exchanges, acquiring the falls in 1968. By 1972, after many unsuccessful offers to obtain the land at the base of the falls, proceedings began to condemn the two tracts. from: gorp.away.com/gorp/publishers/menasha/waterfalls1.htm
