| Maidenhair falls |
Back to Wynoochee.
I don’t know a lot of places to explore in the area, so I hiked to two
waterfalls. This was my second or third
time going to Maiden hair falls and my second time going to Wynoochee
falls. I really need to get a high
clearance vehicle, a truck I think, so I can haul stuff too. I worry about the cost even though I can
afford one. I’ve just got to force
myself to buy one. I know I will love it
as long as it is reliable.

I loved my
Jeep, but it was always breaking down, so I got rid of it. Every time I look at the price of used trucks
I am shocked by how much people want for worn out high mileage vehicles.
I started my
hike at about 9:30 and went to Maidenhair falls first. I had hoped to fly my camera there but could
not get a clear enough signal. I got
confused finding the trail near the bridge over the Wynoochee, there is a
dearth of signs there.

Next I
walked up the road to the old Wynoochee Falls campground. It was pleasant for a road walk. The air was clean and there was very little
chance of vehicle traffic on the road and no chance of having chemicals dumped
on my head.
The trail to
the falls is unmarked but not hard to find.
I was able to fly my camera at Wynoochee falls and I hope to incorporate
those shots into a video of the hike. I
had lunch at the base of the falls and then I went up an explored the area
above the falls before brush crashing out to the road. I enjoyed my forest brush crash but seeing
all the old growth stumps made me sad.
7.5 miles
for the day
