Who said there
were no water crossings?
|
Us at the
trailhead?
|
Making our way
|
|
|
|
This is what
happens to trespassers
|
...and they
don't even know your name
|
Old settlers

|
|
|
|
Richland Creek
|
.... during
high waters...lots of kayakers
|
..and now we
ascend to the top
|
|
...or just
stand around and rest
|
|
...and find a
nice to tree to rest
|
|
...and then we
head out again
|
|
|
|
...and for our
second water crossing
|
We need a
little help
|
...and hope the
rocks are not as slippery as they look
|
This is a deep
hole in a big creek rock

Our first view
of Long Devils Fork Falls
|
|
|
|
...and a closer
look

Twin Falls from
above
|
Nice, indeed
|
A perfect spot
for lunch
|
|
|
|
Keith looking
for his perfect spot
|
..but getting
to that perfect spot is not always easy!
|
|
|
|
One more
glimpse at the falls
|
...and now down
|
Some ladies
know how it's done
|
|
|
|
....and
|
....Dianne
|
...does it all
the way down!
|
|
|
|
So now we are
all under the falls
|
and there they
are!
|
Keith doing a
little "ice exploring"
|
|
|
|
We all need a
little help at times
|
...and today
was the day
|
...and we did
appreciate it very much
|

TAKAHIK at Twin
Falls
|
...and Beverly
enjoying a little peace and quite
|
|
|
|
...and so we
head on down the creek
|
Which required
a little more help
|
....and we did
appreciate it very much
|
|
|
...and our next
find would be?

Looking up
Richland Creek
|
Trying not to
get wet

|
|
|
Ah, Richland
Creek Falls
|
Can you believe
Kayakers go over this?
|
...and a closer
look

enjoying the falls
|
Pat could slip
off this log and I'm going to get a great picture of her doing
just that!
|
A nice fossil
spine of some sort?
|
|
|
|
Can you count
the number of fossils in this rock?
|
There's a BUNCH
|
...and yet
another rock covered with fossils
|
But we gotta go
|
..and believe
me it was UPHILL!!!!
|
|
|
|
Remember this
tree ...... turn here
|
We made it to
the road, and still had a little energy?
|
Keith trying to
comfort Dianne, "we're almost there, we're almost there"!
Yeah, Sure
|
|
|
|
Bye, bye
|
|
Yeah, Sure
|
One last look
at Richland Creek
|
If I had the
keys I would get us out of here, quick!
|
|
|
|
|
After 8.19
miles and a 1000 foot climb, we made it.
|
It was a great
day, after all.
|
Yeah, Sure
