We went to Machine Falls on Saturday afternoon - I wish I would have known so we could have met!!<BR/><BR/>About Rutledge - How you saw it is it's normal flow - little trickles on the left with the majority of the water on the right. I have seen water gushing across its full length only once. I'll post a picture for you.
