The families gathered around the cascading flow of water that was refreshingly cool in the intoxicating late summer heat. Two brothers looked down at the many glittering pools gathered at the bottom of the immense waterfall. The waterfall was surreal; being from the small, and secluded state of Wisconsin the brothers had never something so large and impressive…
