[important]Administrator's Note: The Blue Hole is now off limits to hikers. It is located on private property and the owner would not like people to access this section of the gorge.[/important]

Nice story on the Tully landslides in Sunday's Syracuse Post-Standard, including discussion of Rattlesnake Gulf and Rainbow Falls and Creek.

Good to know that the "blue hole" is possibly accessible via a relaxing stay at http://www.adamsedencamp.com/

Contrary to popular belief I didn't fall into a Tully mud-boil and vanish from the face of the planet. I actually went gullywhumping for the first time in a while yesterday with the lady.We visited the Adams Eden camp per our conversation with the owners to check out Rattlesnake Gulf. Actually only made it to the first bonified waterfall (not the blue hole, I don't think)...let me tell you, it's not an easy stream walk, especially with the recent rains. I'm interested to get past the first waterfall, but I ran out of time yesterday. May get back there today. There are 4 in there.....I believe they want us to do a write-up, but with conditions....

On second thought, perhaps that is the blue hole I photographed....

Does anyone know if the rest of the waterfalls are suppose to be ABOVE or BELOW this one?
