Waterfall Adventures, Russell Dunn
Creating Your Own Adventure by Russell Dunn In the Spring 1997 issue of Kaatskill Life (a quarterly magazine devoted to the Catskills), I wrote an article entitled “Hunting for Waterfalls.” Little has changed since that piece was written.

I have learned so much in the past few weeks, regarding pages, posts etc. Background work is more than I ever thought. The steps it takes to set up a proper working website that until now never understood their functions. So, hang in there, check back often. Thanks for all you patience as I work through it all.
My son sent me more Japan pics!!

It is time for me to announce to the world (some folks already know), some commitments I have made not only to my personal website, but also to bigger and better attachment to the waterfall communities.
First, I had been asked if I would like to join the “Digthefalls” team, and I have accepted and along with that opened up new responsibilities and commitments.
www.digthefalls.com
In case you did not know, Digthefalls also has a partnership with Field Trip, creator of the Field Trip App. If you have not yet joined you may do so here
http://www.fieldtripper.com/
Another New important announcement was the “New York State Waterfall Coalition”
Check this out here
https://newyorkstatewaterfalls.com/
My personal website here, will still follow my personal simple basic structure. Links and pages will be live for those waterfall locations I personally visited. I am slowly moving towards listing all the waterfall locations that I have had on my personal private, compiled list of 20 plus years. Which I am sure may have wrong information, until confirmed.
Anyone that I have on my Resource page, please check back and confirm that they are still most current and up to date! Also check my Other Link Resources to.
I am behind on my “Other States” waterfall lists, but will continue adding and posting them.
I am excited about new opportunities, new friends, new projects and most of all utilizing my self-worth in something I value more than almost everything!! WATERFALLS!!

I will continue adding products as I sort out my best photos!!
