I had planned a Bonds Traverse hike for Saturday but the rains took their time clearing out and I decided to postpone that hike until Sunday. So, late on Saturday afternoon Ivy and I took a trip up to Arethusa Falls. The trail was very muddy in places but trail crews are out putting in a lot of hard work, thanks guys. The falls were running very strong and it was a great little warm up, as opposed to our Hale 'warm up' last winter! I had one close 'AGE' (Avatar Generating Event) when I nearly did a face plant in six inches of oozing mud but miraculously recovered in time. Even the bugs and rain could not take away from the magnificence of the falls, truly spectacular. |
