I was driving up the Blue Ridge Parkway and encountered one of those pesky detours. A portion of the parkway was closed because of some winter landslides, and I was diverted onto a North Carolina highway. On my cross-country drive a detour is not a problem but rather an opportunity, and this opportunity took me to Sliding Rock in the Pisgah National Forest. It is a natural 60-foot water slide that drops you into a cool pool of water.

As I gazed at this spectacular natural rock formation, the kid in me said "DO ... don't just look".
