About Two Months ago, Andy, Brenda, and I found what I consider to be our greatest waterfall "discovery" to date! Obviously we were not the first humans to stumble across this spectacular waterfall, but as far as we know it has never been documented in any publication either in print or online. We found these waterfalls strictly by studying topo maps, speculating where waterfalls might be, and bushwhacking into the unknown.
I decided to burn my last Vacation day of the fiscal year to make a return visit and show off our "discovery" to some of my other Team Waterfall hiking buddies.
Thomas (The Badger), Scott (The Professor), and Mark would be joining me on this adventure.
Since I have written about this area several times in the past, I am not going to write a full trip report this time. You can read some of my previous trip reports for a little more detail:
