Pictures to ease the shack nasties...

I did not take these pictures but we visited this beautiful natural site often as it was very near our home town of Grove City, Pa. Mike and I ate at a place called The Iron Bridge Inn on route 19, Mercer County, Pa, just about a half mile from this place. Mike, I do not know why I did not think to take you there but we will go there next time. Amy loves the falls and I just know Colleen would too.

Enjoy the photos and if you can let the photographer know what you think of their work. Be certain to click on individual pictures to bring up larger photos of the subject:

Hey Joe,
Come on down and join us the next time! Even the waiter there picked on poor Mikey. Not that innocent Mike didn't lead anyone on you know.;)

Hey Joe,
I think we got the 'Tuber speechless!:shock: Serves him right after calling here to bust my chops the other night!;)

Eric,
Keep it up Bubba! I may just push that "nasty" button!!

That's a BIG menu...might take me 2 or 3 trips to eat all that stuff! I need to see that waiter again anyway...wasn't he a dirty rotten "Stealer/Squealer" fan?? :p
Mike

Best waiter I ever had! He had us both rolling along and laughing. Mike, if I recall correctly, didn't the waiter thank us for a good time? Mike, he should have tipped you!:shock::-P

Go ahead and push that button all you want there, Mikey. ;):twisted:

Eric,
He DID say he never had a more fun time waiting on a table. I forget what was said, other than it was 1 good natured insult after another. I was still laughing on the way home! Hope he's there next time too.
Mike

My nephew is a sophomore at Grove City College and plays on the basektball team. Needless to say we go there a lot. How can I find the falls. The Iron Bridge seems easy enough to find.

Here is a map. Zoom in on Just north of Leesburg until you see Falls Road and Leesburg Station Road:

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp...ountry=us#west

From Grove City you can go two ways:
First way:
1. Take RT 208 west through London, Pa. to Old Mercer Road
2. Turn right onto Old Mercer Road about 4 miles west of London. Watch carefully as it sneaks up on you.
3. After turning right onto Old Mercer Road take the first left onto Falls Road.
4. There is a dip at the end of Falls Road. You can park along the road or next to the spring house (block building) on your left. The falls are on your right, across the road from the spring house. Follow the path to the falls.
5. If you happen to miss Old Mercer Road stay on 208 west to Leesburg RT 19. Turn right on Rt19 (north) then turn right at the next cross roads onto Leesburg Station Road.
20. At the sharp right hand bend of Leesburg Station Road, proceed straight ahead on Falls Road. the dip will be RIGHT THERE in front of you. Park on the right falls on the left.

Alternate route ( may be easier too)

1. Take I-80 west to the Mercer Pa. exit.
2. From the exit proceed south on RT19
3. Once you pass The Iron Bridge Inn you will go about a mile, I think, to the Leesburg Station cross roads. Turn left at the Leesburg Station cross roads and proceed straight onto falls road. Park in the bottom of the dip, falls on the right.

Take your fly rod and waders. I do not know if the Wolf Creek at the falls has been stocked but it might be worth a try. If you are hungry a short trip north on rt 19 puts you at The Iron Bridge Inn. Great food and you could try Neshannock Creek right there. Probably the best fishing in the area is a short trip down 19 south to Volant. There you can fish the Delayed Harvest Area of Neshannock creek. Either way your best bet is to stop in or call the folks at Neshannock Creek Fly Shop in Volant. They will have complete stream reports and help you match the hatch. Here is their site:

Great fly shop!

One other thought. GO WOULVERINES!!

Hey Nighthawk, it's 5 hrs and 16 min from here according to MapQuest. Not a bad drive. Sounds like it would be a nice Velentine lunch, brunch, or dinner. But ya know, I gotta work, the menu looks wonderful...:)
