Wunder was inspired to create a unique book, a guide that specifically featured waterfalls and how to find them. Off his feet, Wunder completed a list of known waterfalls through the contribution of hiking enthusiasts, friends and fellow authors. "Once I started it, it just started growing." The instant his illness passed, Wunder took full advantage of the summertime, hiking across the state. He was able to limit his long list to 100 waterfalls, enjoying the grandeur of each as he gathered research.
