I set out around 6:30 pm thinking there would be plenty of time to get out there and do about 30 minutes bouldering. Wonderful!! There was plenty of light and plenty of thoughts to myself, "How far is this dang thing?" It was about 5km from my house and across farm fields, unmarked roads, and magical forest trails. It also led me to an aquaduct...Ya check it out. I walked across it, rebar sticking out and all.
Everything was going great until I lost the trail and decided to climb through the undregrowth that had grown over my head. probably a 55 degree angle. I wasn't sweating until then. So that little detour brought me to the top of the rock outcropping...not exactly the best place to boulder without a rope. So instead I decided to take cheesy pics of myself. Woohoo!!
While I was there, on top of this rock outcropping I couldn't help but notice the beautiful sunset that was forming on the horizon. It reminded of the beautiful Montana sunsets. Purples, yellows, reds, and of course blues were streaming across the sky as I just got to sit there in somewhat silence.
I say somewhat silence because I couldn't help but notice the trickle or flow of water that was "roaring" below me. I was not hesitant to find out what exactly it was...basically because I new what it was...a waterfall, silly! I climbed back into the darkness of the undergrowth that had created gloomy shadow over the stream. What I came upon was simply amazing and more than what I expected. It was so beautiful I had to get a blurry photo of it for record.
So what I wanted to be just a lil hikey-poo and bouldering session turned into so much more and I can only thank God that it did. And since I got only a blurry photo of it, this means that I have to go back soon. I just wanted to climb rocks!!
