$\"\"$ The morning started off with rain and quite humid. Most of the six of us carried our umbrellas on the hike \u2013 it was way too hot to don rain gear.<\/p>\n

We walked 1.5 miles on sidewalks and roads to where Spinnerville Gulf Rd was closed off years ago due to flooding. After swinging ourselves around the gate along the creek edge, we hiked another \u00bd mile along the flood-damaged roadway to the turn off to the falls. All along the road we listened to the babbling of the creek and got to enjoy many mini-falls.<\/p>\n

The last \u00bd mile in to the falls was a rocky, wet trail\u2026again accompanied with the music of the creek alongside us. Finally, we reached the bend and there were the falls \u2013 and despite the weeks of dry weather, there was water still coming over the falls. Four of us continued up the creek bed to the base of the falls where the falls\u2019 mist was refreshingly cooling.

Then it was about face and return to where the cars were parked. We walked a bit faster on the way back out \u2013 firstly because it was mostly downhill, but also because the humidity and increasing heat had brought the black flies and deerflies out in hoards! We were happy to get back on to the roads and sidewalks and leave the bugs behind!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
