Back to First Water Creek

For some reason, Kyle thought anything but flowing water would be boring today, so we went back to First Water Creek. More rain has fallen since the last time we were there and there was a lot more water flowing. Here's a short video to illustrate.

The last time we were down there was an exhausting trip. We had to do a lot of scrambling around to go upstream. This time, Kyle wanted to see what was in the downstream direction, and neither one of us was too enthusiastic about struggling upstream again. We went a little ways upstream, to a part where we had to do a lot of climbing and pushing through bushes the last time, and decided that was far enough.

It was nice that the sun was shining this time. I think the air was a little dryer, too. It was cooler (mid 40's). I was wearing a long sleeve shirt, but it was almost too much with all the scrambling around.
