A friend of my daughters just came back from a camping trip from Wevertown, NY. He took a picture of a falls called "Buttermilk", in this town. My daughter is going to find out for me it's size and actual location. Which I'll post for anyone going up there. Here is a picture of it.

Wevertown in the Adirondacks? I'm not too familiar with the area if that's the place. But the falls does look sorta like one I've been to over on route 8 I think, a bit past Wevertown, but probably still considered that area.

I didn't look it up, but it's in Dunn's book, and I remember the rocks are layered and very slanted, around 70-80° or so form flat. Made for some interesting walking around and the water flowed in and around the upturned layers of rock. I didn't take many pictures that day as the light was too contrasty.
