About Bobbie Sweeting

I am a single mother of three children, a grandmother to three children. My favorite hobby is visiting as many waterfalls as I can, while I can. My goal is to see at least 30 waterfalls in a years time. Listed here on my website are only places I have actually been to. I am in hopes that one of my children or grandchildren will continue with this long after I am gone. We started this adventure around 1990. I have just started to put together this website, and will continue adding on a regular basis.

A New Milestone for Me, Stepping UP and Stepping OUT

Talk about excited and nervous all in one day! I am a person that very much loves to be in the background, behind the scenes, or the shadow. As time is going by so very quickly, I have truly come to realize my personal accomplishments. So with that check out the following links:

My very very FIRST involvement in anything that is LIVE to the public!

The following list is the first set of locations listed in the book “Waterfalls of New York State” by Scott A. Ensminger of (Western New York Waterfall Survey), David J. Schryver of (Northern New York Waterfalls) and Edwards M. Smathers of (Dig the Falls)

Be sure to check them out! I myself have personally contributed a lot of waterfall location information to both Mr. Edward Smathers and Mr. David Schryver. I am currently a team member with “Dig the Falls”. The simple rules of this challenge, is to visit 100 waterfall locations in the book. One location may have several waterfalls, but counts as one location. Click on the links (I have visited) in the boxes below, which will take you to additional information pages.

Bobbieswaterfalls will be down for some loving “maintenance” 9-5-2019

Bobbieswaterfalls will be down for some loving “maintenance” 9-5-2019

Due to many changes over the past several months, Bobbieswaterfalls will be down for a major much needed maintenance. This will happen within the next week or so. Pages will still be accessible with photos and maps.

I had been working on some fixes, trying to implement some new formats, but true end results, more errors were made. Plugins did not work well with others, formatting did not come out as planned, and finding some data on pages were omitted and use duplicate words as fill ins. All is very frustrating! It would be better for me to start with a new plan.

Photos and maps will still be the same. I am removing tablepress. There will also be additions of new locations I have been to over the past few years that I simply did not get put up.

Patience for a “Good” work in progress!
