We are always ones for adventure, though I must say this one was a little nail biting even for me. Ash wanted to take me to the "secret" mushroom hunting spot Bill had taken her to the day before just up the road from our house. I was warned that the roads were a little *rough* but since Bill was able to navigate them on 2 wheel drive mode I was assured our rental car would make it just fine. These logging roads are dirt and gravel and have some very steep (on the edge of your seat) hills, and to my shock and amazement the dodge actually did quite well. I'd say it actually fared better than I did LOL. We did eventually make it back through the maze of one car wide paths to the spot and found ourselves a huge patch of juicy chanterelles. We tried not to pick too many since we had tons at home but it was hard to resist since they were so beautiful and huge. After we filled our bag we had brought we headed back down the mountain and while we were driving around we sought out to find this waterfall Bill had mentioned to Ash on their foray. She didn't know exactly where it was so we just drove in the general direction on roads that didn't register on the GPS. Just when we though we had gone the wrong way we came upon it, a gushing waterfall with a car bridge in front of it. It was copiously pumping out thousands of gallons of sparkling clean, ice cold mountain water. I was refreshed just looking at it. On our trip back home we passed a couple of other tiny little waterfalls too.
