Watery Wednesday #46

The quality of the imagination is to flow and not to freeze.

McGalliard Falls - Valdese, NC
One of my favorite spots to relax is McGalliard Falls in Valdese, North Carolina. I enjoy sitting on the rocks in McGalliard Creek and watching the water rushing over the 40 foot drop to the base of the falls.
Every year, in early June, the town of Valdese stocks the creek above the falls with 1200 rainbow trout and hosts a fishing tournament for kids under 15 and seniors 55 and older. Trophies are awarded for catching the most fish in each age group. At noon, they grill hotdogs and have a fish fry for the families.
