I worked most the day lower down the trail, well below the falls. The river has boulders and fallen trees making miniature waterfalls all along it.
After 7 hours of drawing and light hiking I was very done for the day.... but had to wait for my more intrepid fellows to wrap it up before I could get a ride home. My fellow landscapers are a hearty bunch. Luckily a short rainfall came along and sent enough packing for me to catch a ride. (And luckily I was well prepared for rain after yesterdays' deluge.)
I definitely want to go back to the falls another day and work there again. But next time I'm taking my own transportation!
