Success!
I laid out a rather ambitious plan for today – carefully
navigate to 4 waterfalls in a precise order and then wind up a dirt road to set
up camp and climb a mountain. All this needed to happen within 12 hours.
With so many places where parts of today’s plan could have
gone awry, I’m pleased to report that I reached each of those destinations and
did everything I wanted to do at all of them. The only low points of the day,
and to call them low points is a stretch – were that I didn’t get as good of a
picture of Looking Glass Falls as I had hoped and I wasn’t so happy with the
Max Patch Road. But more on those momentarily.
