Elizabeth is a member of the Felker family and the alternate name of this waterfall is Lower Felker’s Falls. She is holding the GPS unit to check the coordinates of the waterfall for the HCA.
Little Davis Falls is featured on the poster “Waterfalls of Hamilton Spring” with both Elizabeth and Jody in the picture.
