The name "Upper Shamokin Falls" always makes me laugh. I'm sure its origins are Native American, but "Shamokin" always sounds like an old-timey insult. "Hey Moe, get a load'a this shamokin! He says we ain't gonna use horses no more!"
One might wonder why anyone would go to the Benson Plateau. First reason, I need to fill in a tiny section of the Pacific Crest Trail to have the Columbia River to Timothy Lake completed. Second, I’ve not been up here since my very first backpacking trip 20+ years ago. Fall has arrived. Tomorrow the weather should improve so I will explore some mountains.
Woke up at the abandoned Indian Springs campground with more condensation on my tent than I’ve ever experienced. Completely soaked. I wanted sun but lesson learned not to set up camp without tree cover. Headed back on the Eagle Creek Trail to most likely see the waterfalls for the last time this year. I just love Twister Falls, third photo. 😍
Happy #WaterfallWednesday! This was taken last year in the spring time at Ozone Falls in Ricketts Glen State Park in Pennsylvania. It's my favorite place to visit for waterfalls! (if I can't be in Iceland).
The challenge theme on Night Café was Windmills. When I created this one, I included a couple different styles in the prompts, such as matte painting, watercolor and steampunk.
The wind was brisk at the brink of the Upper Falls at Tahquamenon Falls State Park in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. We visited a few days before Christmas several years ago and found that the falls hadn't frozen over. The Upper Falls are approximately 200 feet across and a 50 foot drop to the Tahquamenon River.
It would sure be inspirational to write a book here.. it's pricey, I'm told. I can drive here in 20 minutes, so I'll never stay at the Liscombe Lodge or their cabins but they are situated in a great place. https://www.liscombelodge.ca/
