Broke every rule in the book today and headed out on a trail– alone… that I had no idea about. Did make a couple sketchy cell calls to my brother and sis in-law about location… and when I thought I’d found it, I just hit the trail.
Where was I heading? Bassi Falls. I trusted that it would be a short hike.. and it was, but my right knee was telling me not to put too much pressure on it for some reason and so it was slow going all the way. Not a lot of wildflowers about… the granite rock fried them all. Found a few lingering among the puddles and shade. Nothing really amazing… except to survive at all at in this extreme terrain is worth noting. Anyhow, saw several big trees along the trail and wondered why they hadn’t be cut by logging… BIG trees. Nature did cut a few of them… wind, heavy snow load— saw a few remnant snaps… Fun day, gonna return and find out what’s at the top of the falls as soon as I can.
