Epic Waterfall Adventure - Part 2

 Hullo! Well, we scrambled up that first bit from the waterfall but now... we are going to explore on the other side of this creek...

There's another waterfall up there... beary pretty too... Apparently there is also a big ammonite mold in the stream bed but we didn't know where to look...

So we will have to come back!

Alright... onwards... sometimes being little is an advantage, especially when there is blowdown...

Believe it or not, there is a thing thread of a trail up here... hmmm...

And... oh wow... 

That is a steep drop into the main creek!!!

Ah-hah... we recognize this place... we have hiked down the creek bed in the summer when there's not a lot of water...

And upstream is the big waterfall... We've been there many times but we are looking for a way to turn it into a loop hike.

And this might just be it! During low water season of course...

Now to head back...

Still didn't see the ammonite impression...

It was found back in 2012 but you can only see it when there is no water in the creek... will have to come back!

And now... we climb up the ropes...

Carry me??

Whew! And we made it!

Interesting tree formation...

There are a bunch of those mesh tree tubes here...

And of course someone dared me to crawl through one... ooof....

Think squirmy wormy!

And... I'm out! Almost...

Just a bit more wriggle...

Whew... that would make a great Stuffie Olympic event!

Seriously... epic adventure, which this little bear loves!!

An Epic Waterfall Adventure - Part 1

 Today we are going somewhere new!! As a Bearbnb host, I need to suss out cool places for my stuffie guests to visit... and today is one of those days!

Hmmmm.... strange green mesh tubes... betcha there is a little Douglas Fir seedling in there somewhere...

Yep... do you see it?

There it is!

I imagine it (a) protects the seedlings from too much sun and (b) stops the deer from eating them!

Anyhow... let's go! Those white things are also tree tubes... just hard white plastic ones.

This is beary nice down here... and this little stream behind me is beary peaceful.

Now... just need to get across it...

Seriously, that's the bridge?

OK... easy does it... one step at a time... don't look down and don't flinch.

I can do this!!!

I did it!!! Wait... what do you mean... "that wasn't the bridge"?

Oh for Pete's sake... there was a real bridge here and everything. Sometimes I think my sekrebeary is making up adventures!

Right then... our next stop is this beary steep slope with a thin little trail meandering down it...

It's steeper (and thinner) than it looks...

Are we sure this is the right way?? "Maybe"... sigh...

Right then... we are almost down to the creek.... normally we would be over on the far side... but today we are trying this side... and trying a new trail. Always a great adventure.

OK... it's now getting so steep there is a rope to hang onto...

Wheeee... that was fun!

But... hmmm... we will have to go back up at some point!

Never mind... onwards!

Oh boy... more rope...

And uber steep... hold on!

But... we are here!!!!

This is Flynnfall Creek Falls... I think it should just be Flynn Falls but... whatever...

It is beary pretty and flows into the main creek here...

I show a video... hope it works... (https://youtube.com/shorts/OyHf7yUOvF8)

Yes, that last bit of the video shows the way back up and out... but our adventure is not over yet!
