There is water in the Ruby Way far out east of where you are right now is a mountain ridge. A mountain ridge that traverses over two states along the East coast. It’s the same place where the “Last Battle of the Cherokees” occurred. Even the civil war was not to far away from the mountain ridge. One might even have a flashback to US history in the 8th grade if they were told that this was the location of The Battle of Lookout Mountain. Most people are used to seeing waterfalls, well above ground at least. Usually when one sees a waterfall their neck tends to bend backwards so they can look up towards it. Is there a possibility of a waterfall being below the surface level of the earth? Under ground waterfalls can be a very beautiful and natural …show more content…
He then decided to take his wife with him the very next time and named the waterfall and the cave after his beautiful wife Ruby. The cave today is nowhere near as naturally carved today as it once was. Over the last few decades Lambert has turned it into a tourist attraction. By turning it into a tourist attraction Lambert was forced to manually carve out the cave to make it more congruent to accept the large number of tourist they expected. They found a small passageway that eventually led them to the waterfall, and this passageway was then dugout in order to put an elevator to allow the tourist easy access into the mountain to the waterfall via the Ruby Falls Cave. Then as government regulations because more and more strict, the company cut out a secondary exit leading to the base of the mountain. The secondary exit is used in case of emergencies, whether it’s from natural disasters or a man created disaster. The water in the waterfall is clean ground water, which one can happily drink at their personal discretion. Although it is suggested that one should not drink the water for the reason that it contains a very extremely high amount of magnesium from the strata of Lookout Mountain. The high amounts of magnesium causes a natural laxative effect on the human body, meaning if someone were to drink the water from Ruby Falls they will end up getting the runs sooner rather than
Upon returning from his annual two-week vacation in early July of 2002, the treasurer of the Spring Valley Forest Products Corporation, a Mr. Fred Firr, found the firm's audited balance sheet as of June 30 on his desk. Close scrutiny of the company's financial condition as reported in this document suggested to Mr. Firr that the cash flow picture for the enterprise was deteriorating. In times gone by, the firm had been able to maintain sizeable cash balances in its bank of account, Tippecanoe Trust Company, during the major portion of the fiscal year, and had found only modest seasonal borrowings necessary. Recently, however, a lengthening of credit terms to customers necessitated by intense
Mesa Verde National Park, located in Montezuma County, Colorado, was established in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt. This United States landmark was designated for the preservation of several Puebloan archeological sites and the vast geologic history exhibited within the 52,485 acres of land occupied by Mesa Verde. The Ancestral Puebloans, or Mesa Verdeans, associated with the archeological sites of Mesa Verde National Park, lived in the Mesa Verde region from the mid-sixth century to the end of the thirteenth century.[3]
There were many events that caused the bombing that could have been prevented by the federal government. One of the main events that was turned into a motive for the bombing was the raid on Ruby Ridge. As Gunn said, the raid on Ruby Ridge was started when federal agents went to the home of Randy Weaver, a notorious white supremacist leader, to arrest him for failing to report in court for a weapons charge (647). The agents were met with much resistance by Weaver and his son. As Gunn states, Weaver’s son started a shootout with the agents on August 22, 1992, which lead to a week long standoff between the agents and Weaver’s family (647). Marcovitz states, the standoff ended on August 31, 1992 leaving Weaver’s son and wife dead, one federal

The memorandum will conclude with recommendations for Mr. Prangel’s consideration.
Mesa Verde National Park on the Colorado Plateau contains many geological aspects of interest, including its sedimentary rock layers, its canyons, its alcoves utilized by ancient people and how these alcoves were formed. Mesa Verde National Park is located in the southwest corner of Colorado, close to the Four Corners area, on top of a high mesa overlooking the Mancos River (Harris et al. 2004). The park, covering 81 square miles, consists of several main sedimentary formations that are characteristic to the park (Encyclopedia Britannica 2015). Canyons are carved into the sedimentary rock, with the cave dwellings found high on their steep walls. These dwellings are an especially unique aspect to the Mesa Verde National Park, and are built out of large alcoves. The alcoves were produced by weathering and erosion of the sedimentary rock type. To better understand how these alcoves formed, we must understand the geology of Mesa Verde National Park and how it has developed over history.
Using the original assumptions our initial results regarding the desired profitability of the Shady trail are positive:

Pikes Peak is a beautiful, rocky mountain with a fantastic view. The day my family and I were going to go up Pikes Peak the day was gorgeous. Heading up the mountain is so relaxing, having conversations with my family while looking out the tinted window. Looking out my window I could see columns and rows of the most perfect looking pine trees rising up the peak. During the climb it was so admirable and calm as I was thinking in my head, what a perfect day. The view was fantastic as I got to see the world breathing in all of the fresh air. Pikes Peak has three lakes which are very inviting with its clear blue water glistening from the sun. The lookout on the very tip of Pikes Peak was very foggy and chilly. The view was pretty cool since I’ve

In “Monkey Hill,” Stan Rice writes about the speaker of the poem who sits at a zoo with his friend observing the spider monkey exhibit. The two stay the whole day to observe these monkeys. The speaker becomes envious of these monkeys and their ability to be confident with exactly where they are and with who they are. Rice argues that our minds imprison us when we are worried about judgment from others. The monkeys in the exhibit felt free and at ease while the two observers were trapped in worrisome about the outside world in fear of how others would perceive them.
Growing up I always heard the saying "all good things must come to an end," but I never thought about it that deeply. Sure, everything has an end, like a book or a movie series or even a day. Everything has and always will have an end to them whether we want, need or anticipate it. While I was aware of this I had never had something that affected me enough to make me sad that it was coming to an end until this summer.
The area of Zion National Park is two hundred and twenty-nine square miles located in the Southwestern United States near Springdale, Utah. A prominent feature is Zion Canyon which is fifteen miles long and up to eight hundred meters deep, cutting through the Navajo Sandstone by the North Fork of the Virgin River. The lowest elevation is 3,666 feet at Coal Pits Wash and the highest elevation is 8,726 feet at Horse Ranch Mountain. Located at the junction of the Colorado Plateau, Mojave Desert, and Great Basin regions, the park's unique geography and variety of life zones allow for unusual plant and animal diversity. The four life zones that can be found in Zion National Park are desert, riparian, woodland, and coniferous forest. There are two
