Description

As is so often the case online, the label/marking for Hogger Falls is (as others are) horribly misplaced (on all maps I find) barely even close to the river, much less to the proper location, and (in fact) jumping a bit from one resolution (level of zoom) to another. That said, I believe this is the location of the start of the Hogger Falls sequence.
