Whitewater River

The group I went with to Black Pool

Trees

      The most common tree that we saw was the sycamore tree.  Sycamore leaves can be 4-8".

     Another kind of tree that we saw was an American elm tree.  The leaves on the American elm tree can be 3-6".

This is a place in the gorge where the sewage meets the water.  So do not swim in or swallow any of this black sewage water.
