Tapoco Lodge Joins
Cornell Ornithology
Partnership
istoric Tapoco Lodge in Robbinsville,
North Carolina, has become a part
of its parent Enthusiast Hotel Collection's
partnership with the Cornell Lab
of Ornithology.
The program offers birders the opportunity
to become familiar with area
bird species and connect with the natural
world.
The Enthusiast Hotel Collection/Cornell
Lab partnership includes six properties
ranging in location from the Bahamas to
California.
The program connects lodging guests
to local avian experts who offer professional
guidance and curated tours. The
partnership will also offer online courses
from Cornell Lab's Bird Academy, toward
preparing guests to better understand
the migration patterns, nesting ritual and
other facets they'll learn about on their
educational walks.

100 Waterfalls in 100 Days
W
ayne Davis plunged into
retirement with a frothy plan
to see, as he put it, " 100 waterfalls
in 100 Days. "
" I got serious about waterfalls-
maybe a hike a month or a hike a
week during the summer-about
seven years ago, " says Davis, 68, of
Kingsport, Tennessee.
But, upon retirement as a systems
analyst at Kingsport's Eastman
Chemical Co. in 2023, Davis
opted to accelerate the adventure.
On Day One, he landed at
Linville Falls in North Carolina,
on April 1. Davis further found
falls called Rainbow, Stairway and
Drift-all in North Carolina.
Venturing to Virginia, he
explored the many Falls of Little
Stony near Coeburn. " I was just
amazed at how pretty those falls
were, " Davis says.
Davis's 100th was Laurel Falls
near Elizabethton, Tennessee-
about an hour from Kingsport.
" It was really pretty. I saw it in
July, " he says, " and there was not a
single car in the parking lot. "
" It's really
fun to have a
set goal and
work toward
that goal. But,
of course, the
actual hike was
always the most
fun, " Davis says.
" Waterfalls, they
are just amazing.
You can
watch them-
the sound, the
green algae, the
plants. It's just
a real experience.
"

Virtually all of them were day
trips, " Davis says of his 100/100.
" We are really blessed with beautiful
waterfalls in the area. "
Davis posted motion shots
and videos to a Facebook site. He
has also since racked up another
dozen falls beyond the original
100.
