At Graves Canyon
entrance
|
First we go downhill
|
.... and follow an old
road
|
|
|
|
|
|
.... and find a way to
go down some more
|
This is where the real
bushwhack begins
|
... and it was thick at
first
|
|
|
Still going down
|
|
|
Our first sighting of
the Upper Forever Falls
|
|
We would visit the top
of Forever Falls
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level with the Upper
Forever Falls
|
If this bucket could
talk!
|
... and so we keep
going down
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and as soon as we go
down we have to go up!
|
... so we rested
whenever we could
|
... and tied our boots
(Yuko needs Velcro!)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stacy always looking
for Bill
|
Vic always looking for
a place to sit!
|

Unnamed waterfall
upstream from Forever Falls
|
... and this is Forever
Falls
|
... and this is John
and Forever Falls
|
|
|
|
|
|
Looking downstream from
Forever Falls
|
.... and even further
downstream
|
Graves Canyon .... very
nice!
|
|
Upstream
|
|
.... and another
waterfall and pool upstream
|
| |
Unnamed waterfall
upstream from Forever Falls
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
... and still further
upstream
|
If it were Spring, this
would be fun to swim in
|
....but not for us
today.
|
|
|
|
|
|
So now we are headed
downstream
|
Danny and Dale
|
There was a good
crossing spot just below Forever Falls to get to the other side
|
|
|
We now have to get out
of this, so we can go to Graves Canyon Falls
|
|
|

the bluffs

It was getting close to
lunch, but not yet.
|
|
...but a snack is
always appropriate

It was time to get up

|
Back down to the
creek... anyway we could get there!
|
It was every man for
himself
|
|
|
Us below Forever Falls
Such a nice day to be
out in nature.

|
|
Back at Forever Falls

Mary Ann having quite a

A pretty "long" log
|
|
They held hands the
whole hike!
|
| |
Cathy knows how to
enjoy the day and the sunshine!
|
|
|
|
... and back to the
road
|
|
|
Our last hill to climb
|
|
Oops!, I forgot about
this hill
|
|
|
|
|
|
We made it!
|
Our new friend Cathy
from Dover
|
Difficult described
this hike perfectly!
|
| |
|
But it was worth it.
Shame on you if you missed it.
