In Search of the Hidden Waterfalls

 I spotted a tiny note referencing 'Hidden Waterfalls' on Google Maps someplace near our daughter's home, but unfortunately it was in the middle of undifferentiated forest cover.  Never-the-less I was determined to find these, and roped in our grandson as a guide.  It took two trips, but eventually we did find them.

This was the best of them, once we eventually found them.  I had no tripod with me, and these necessitated absurdly long hand-held exposures, so some are a little blurry, but our grandson and I had a grand adventure.

The stream was tumbling over rocky sections, and slushing down flatter bedrock.

There was no open trail here, we were bushwacking, and in most places branches blocked my camera's view, at least partly.

In other places we were struggling down steep-sided fern-covered valley walls.

Moss on the huge old stumps looked like a miniature forest itself.

And someplace we came across this sign, in a place where cattle had absolutely no business being!

Often I thought the view of the rushing stream was better than the small waterfall.  Though sorry for the blurriness!  But it was indeed a grand adventure!
