Tunica Waterfalls of Salsa

Clarke Creek
RAC and I had planned on going camping this weekend but "The Rouge" and surrounding areas decided that it wanted to get a leg up on summer, it was muggy and warm all weekend. So, instead of being miserable inside a tent that doesn't breath, we scrapped the camping idea and headed up north to the Clarke Creek nature area near Pond, MS. The particular trail we were on had 6 small waterfalls.

RAC and I found 4 of the 6 and had a great afternoon hiking around. Lugged the camera around, but was running low on batteries so only had a few good shots. Plus I should have packed the tripod. The picture to the left was at the top of one of the bigger waterfalls and the water swirled as if it were going down a drain. It exited onto a ledge and then over the main fall complex...it was a cool feature and had fun getting some photos! So if your ever in the neighborhood of Pond, MS hit up the Pond Store and hit the trails to find some falls.

Serranos Salsa Love
After the day of hiking, RAC and I had worked up a good appetite. After cleaning up, we head down to Serrano's Salsa Company here in "The Rouge." I had a gift certificate from winning a local geocaching competition put on by "The Rouges" BREC, so I figured it was a good time to try it out.

Serrano's specializes in south of the boarder foods and the menu is is extensive but simple. Huge selection of tequila's and south of the border drinks, and the Salsa is to die for. We settled in with a Red Sangria and a Chameleon Margarita and enjoyed the atmosphere and the never ending supply of chips and salsa. We decided to pair up on our meal and got the steak fajitas for two.

The steak was a little tough, but the flavor made up where it lacked in tenderness. It was served with the full compliment of garnishes and it was more than the two of us could eat. Probably because we were already partially filled by the chips. My favorite touch to the meal was the warm tortillas that are heated on a griddle once your order comes available. This touch made the true taste of the tortillas stand out. All in all, check it out if you are in "The Rouge" sometime, you will not be disappointed!
