🌸 Happy Spring from Thistlethwaite Falls! 🌸

Spring showers bring the magic back to Thistlethwaite Falls. It’s the perfect season to explore one of Richmond’s most photographed natural spots - climb along the smooth rock formations, listen to the rushing water, and soak in the peaceful beauty of early spring.
Gosh! This is not a joke. Hollywood has entered the ballpark. ⚾

Actors Jon Heder, Efren Ramirez, and Jon Gries are now connected with the Richmond Flying Mummies !

Looks like the team officially has:
⚾ home run skills
⚾ pitching skills
⚾ probably nunchuck skills too.
