O-FER

This past weekend was quite a disappointment. I ended up being zero for four in search of new waterfalls. I went first up Foresthill Rd and ran into too much snow to continue. I tried a second location and also came across too much snow. I then went back to Foresthill and up Mosquito Ridge Rd, trying a different route to Peavine Creek Falls. This time I ran into too much brush to continue on. I went to Grouse Falls next, which is easy and does not count (it is not a new waterfall anyway). After that I tried to find another new one in the area, and again ran into too much brush. So all in all, it was an ofer weekend, and rather disappointing.

On the plus side, this last little storm we just had at the end of April was pretty sweet, dumping a couple feet of snow in the Sierra. Maybe it will extend waterfall season a couple weeks, but most of the snow had already melted before this storm, so it is still not going to be a very good spring. Will we get any more rain in May? Pretty please.

Grouse Falls was definitely flowing pretty nice this weekend, and the road was all clear from any snow, since it is at a lower elevation. Grouse Falls is always a great waterfall to visit in the spring, but it is such a long drive out there. I don’t think I will be back on Mosquito Ridge Rd this year.
