New waterfall in the Glady Fork system

In The Land Of Waterfalls, Jim Bob Tinsley mentions two waterfalls in the Glady Fork system that once powered mills, both called Mill Shoals. I didn't include them in my book since they didn't have waterfall names (i.e. they weren't called "Mill Falls" or "Mill Shoals Falls"). There are just too many "shoals" out there to include all of them. Well, Bernie found one of the Mill Shoals that Tinsley refers to and says that it is known locally as "Graveley Falls." Tinsley writes that John H. Graveley built both of the mills. The falls Bernie found is on the South Prong of Glady Fork, on private property. It's a small cascade into a large pool.
