We would be exploring this area today
We got half way to the mountain and had to shuttle
We would leave several cars at this spot
Arriving at the base of the mountain
Now up an old road
Now up an old "rocky mountain"
This was pretty steep!
We make it to the middle point
Some came in from the "girls" side of the mt.
We ventured on up to the summit
This is how Dale spent his 81st birthday
Quite a view indeed!
Heidi looking south towards Hot Springs
So now that we are here...what next?
Chris looking north towards Canada
(I think he saw it!)
Us on top of Forked Mountain
Some crazy ladies
The oldest and youngest and the first to get on top
Our fearless leader????
Once you go up you have to go down
It was harder going down
Lots of loose rocks
Heidi and I took a different route down
We make it back to the parking area....yeah!
We drove over to the other side to explore
some waterfalls and eat lunch.
Our lunch spot on Little Cedar Creek
Some chose to take a little nap
A view of where we came from....on top.
Down a nice road to the falls
Level ground felt pretty good

Chris way up there
If you look close and have an imagination
there is a profile of someone!
Lila wanted to dive in....she's done it before!
We would do this several times.
We would do this several times also.
Chris practicing his log walking
This was actually used as a toilet...really.
David taking a little deserved rest.
Our first sighting of Twist Cascade
Too bad there was a big log in the falls
David thinking hard on how to remove the log
Chris and Heidi thought they could ride it down.
Can't be that heavy????
How about if we push on it...bad idea.
We decided to move on and head home.
Our last big climb up.....we hope!
Not sure...this may be the next big fad?
Our last look at Forked Mountain
There was entertainment when we got back...
Lila decided to go rock climbing....
......and Heide decided to find some diamonds!!!!
