New falls on Big Creek

On page 484 I mention a 12-foot waterfall on Big Creek at the 2,600-foot elevation. Bernie Boyer checked it out and discovered another falls upstream that's 20-foot high. As Bernie correctly pointed out, the 20-foot falls is technically at the 2,600-foot elevation, while the 12-footer is downstream, but since I knew the lower falls was within 20 feet of that elevation, I just called it that. When studying the Highlands topo map, find the 2,600-foot line on Big Creek. That's precisely where the 20-foot falls is located. The 12-footer is just downstream from it and immediately upstream from where Little Creek flows into Big Creek.
