PARADISE FALLS 10/31/09 |
Paradise Falls |
We begin at the trailhead |
...and almost immediately we find the creek |
There were waterfalls everywhere |
Nice ones |
|
Worth taking pictures of |
||
Baby would be tired before we get out of here |
We would be tired before we get out of here |
|
It was like this the whole way! Not very much fun, ask Valli |
||
Just before Paradise |
The spillway into Paradise |
...and the green pool |
Dale was the only one that went below, he almost killed himself! |
Paradise Falls |
We made it this fall, found Paradise and now for lunch |
We needed some refreshments |
...and rest! |
|
We all decided we did not want to go back the way we came....so we decided to take a shortcut back! Bad mistake! |
||
We would end up crawling up hills like this |
...and like this |
and doing a lot of resting at the top |
Carol was beginning to wonder, what have we done? |
...but we continued on, not sure where we were |
Tempers begin to flair! |
Exhaustion was getting the best of us! |
...but we did find a cave on our "shortcut" |
This is a "fake" smile on Connie |
||
We call this our tuck and roll technique |
We would all practice it |
It took some longer then others |
See, I told you Baby would get tired! |
We finally found an open field and could see the highway in the distance |
We knew we were safe now! |
We came out one by one! |
This man passing by came to our rescue |
|
...and yet another "fake" smile |
||
...and that's how you make a 5 mile hike out of a 2 mile hike! |
||
We ending up way down the highway from our cars |
No more "shortcuts" |
but I bet we will talk about this hike a long time! |
