Went out with Viv and her husband Med to Peachtree Rock located southwest of Columbia. This is an area of Sandstone that was sea bottom a few million years ago. Streams carved out all the land around the sandstone leaving the harder rock exposed and making for an interesting and beautiful hike to those interested in nature in general and Geology in particular. Fall was just hitting the leaves, mainly Sweetgum, Oak and Sassafras. Saw some Silver Leafed Grass, Maryland Golden Aster, Gerardia and plenty of Maple Leafed Viburnum which always reminds of the mountains where it is so prolific on the Shut-In and Buck Spring Trail along the Blue Ridge Parkway. It has, supposedly, the only waterfall in the coastal plain. Not exactly a 'roaring cataract' but it fits the definition - water falling. It was about a mile and half hike and a good escape from the dreary rain soaked midlands.
