For a little more context, here is a link to a video compilation of Sliding Rock although the water was much higher and therefore faster when we were there.

Sliding Rock, Pisgah National Forest, NC
Chris and I both have memories of visiting Sliding Rock from when we were little. Memories like being little and skinny without much fat on our bottoms. Memories of sluicing down the rock and then hitting the pothole. Memories of launching off the pothole and landing on our unpadded fannies. And then hitting that icy water at the bottom. Despite all of that, though, these are good memories. And so during Cousin Camp we trucked the kids off to Sliding Rock for an adventure after our night of camping. Myrick went down with Poppy twice and Chris took Maddox and Nixon down once each. Good thing Pender needed babysitting; he was my perfect excuse to not go down this time, though I'm sure my time will come in a few more years on a return trip! It was fun being the camera-person, but it was also nerve-wracking to watch my baby girl and the boys go shooting down this natural water slide and into 50 degree water.
Splash and take breath away!

BEST shot of Cousin Camp - is that water cold, Dad?!
