Arriving at Rough Hollow Trailhead
Heading up FR 1803
Our first creek crossing
Our first and hardest crossing....
Big Rock Falls
(We would return to this later)
Top of Big Rock Falls
Heading up to Trigg Falls
It was a steep climb and several rest stops!
Joe
Eddie was protected from head to foot...
except from Char!
Our first sighting of Trigg Falls
There is Trigg Falls and there is
David Trigg!
Looking back down the hollow
I see Cindy but I don't see Dre?
This is Dre
(In case you were wondering)
Looks frozen, but it wasn't!
Kathy and Ray lost in the brush!
More lost folks!
Ray heading on up to the falls while the rest of
us climb up to the bluffs and do some exploring.
Thought we had found a cave....but it wasn't.
Has to be a cave or something up here?
How about a small Hawksbill Crag?
Climbing up to the bluffs was a bit STEEP!
Cindy found the best way to get down.....
SLIDE ON YOUR BOTTOM!
And Dre was right behind her.
If this looks steep....it was!
Still exploring the bluffs.
....and still.....
Dave used this tree to climb up there....
yeah sure!
Glad there were plenty of trees to hang on too.
Nice rock formations, but no caves!
But look what we did find....
We are in the middle of nowhere
and we find climbers have been here, amazing.
This is where they were headed.
Now we have to head way down there....
We did find this pedestal and a crawl hole.
Can you spot Dre in this picture?
Can you spot our snowman in this picture?
Does this help?

Now on down Rough Hollow....
Getting close to our lunch spot.
A nice slot at the intersection
Lunch time...
Lunch in the sun felt good.
Heard some good story from Ray
Lila and Alan
Kathy
Eddie
Saying goodby to Rough Hollow and heading
up a side creek to Rough Falls
A stump hole on the creek
A tree hole on a stump
This is what is in a tree hole on a stump!
You just never know what you will
find up a creek!
We kept thinking someone was spying on us....
Ah, a knot on a log, or a nut on a log...
you decide!
Rough Falls
Waiting on the rest in the sun.
Someone found a turtle shell hat!
Could it be Char?
Sitting and enjoying the falls
We finally all made it....and there weren't
many of us today.
Can you spot Dre in this one?
OK picture time is over, time to head up and out!
This is the way out
I am glad that Lila is not riding in my vehicle.
Why is it always steep going out?
We made it to the top, but someone had
an accident?
Kathy had fallen and hurt herself pretty badly!
This is always a sign of a Good Hike!
April Fool....
Made it back and all our vehicles were there!
That is also a sign of a Good Hike.
Slowly but surely we all made it.
Before we head over to Longpool, Dave finds us
a neat lookout.
It was overlooking Big Piney
We found another lookout, but first
you have to jump over this very deep crack!
It wasn't exactly easy to get to.
Lila stayed back to take our picture.
Smart!
OK, now back and ready to head to Longpool.
Now, parking and headed to Longpool Falls
Dave leading the way
Such, the road is close....
....but did it stop us?
Lower Longpool Falls
Lower Longpool Falls
Lower Longpool Falls
Longpool Falls
Cindy and Dre
Anything wrong with our flag?
That's better.
It was a great day to be out....
hard to believe today it was 64 degrees!
