Today was a little cloudy
and drizzly, just perfect weather for a hike. Marilyn had one all
picked out for us called Goat Creek. So, after breakfast, off we
went, east toward Morton. The route to the trailhead had us going up
a forest service road that was extremely rough, and we were glad
Gene's truck had four wheel drive.
The hike itself was great.
We climbed through a forest and after about a half mile came to a
rather unique waterfall. There was a huge rock cliff, with a cave
underneath. The waterfall was like a curtain of water coming off the
cliff in front of the cave and the trail went behind it. So we ducked
through the water, admired the cave and went further on. The trail
itself was about 5 miles roundtrip, with a lot of ups and downs but
not too hard.
At the turn around spot,
Marilyn and Gene found the creek, but Harris and Judy didn't want to
wade through the mud to get to this last resting spot.
We turned around and stopped
at the waterfall for our lunch.
We just made it back to the
truck when it really started to pour.
We returned to our camp, had
a rest, and then ate the wonderful garlic chicken dinner that Marilyn
prepared. We played cards in the evening, as we usually do. Gene won
the game of “Oh, hell”.
The weather started clearing
up as night approached..it'll be a sunny day tomorrow when we leave.
