Sorry- I got Hijacked–or really stranded…

Sorry for the missing posts. I was doing business in Las Vegas and was supposed to be back Sunday am. However SW cancelled all their flights to Seattle from their for Sunday and Monday and prbably Tuesday.

We were all left stranded in Las Vegas until Wednesday…all at our own expense. I flew back on good ol’ Alaska Air. but $900 in additional expenses!

So I am back and trying to get my posts up. I hope you enjoy!

Just channel your inner mountain goat

This is a little falls about a 100yds downstream from Murhut Falls. You could see little peaks of it from the trail but you had to get about 75ft DOWN to the river to see this (even still a big log remains in your way).

None of my photog friends was as excited to see it up and personal as I was. Going down was exciting but there were lots of snags to grab. Then I realized a giant bolder was in the way from getting a good shot. There was a 3′ crawl space under/beside the rock and mountain side. So I started to crawl and realized my camera bag and I couldnt go together. I finally got thru, took some fun shots and then went to go back up to my friends.

What was REALLY FUN was realizing the vines and snags I had used to get down had flexed back up and I couldnt reach them. So I got to free climb a good 20ft section until I could grab some vines and snags. I used to do that alot (decade ago) but I’m 60 now and realize I’m not invicible..But I still got it!
