SILVER

I was so tired, I was not initially planning to stop here at the lower waterfall on South Silver Creek. I passed right by it, then 10 seconds later turned around and said “oh heck, I have to go down there”. It is not too difficult to get down, but I was just very tired, and I already had decent shots of this little 22 ft. high waterfall. Now I have another one.

When I was down there getting my camera ready to take pics, I dropped my polarizer, and I watched it ROLL about 20 ft. all the way down the granite slope and plop right into the creek. I just watched it roll. I could not run after it because the slope was extremely slippery. I thought it was a goner because the creek was rushing pretty fast, but it landed in a small hole in the creek. I made my way down the rocks carefully, as I did not want to be a goner myself. I got down on my stomach, and reached into the creek. I just barely had enough arm length to reach the filter. Whew. Another maddening adventure in the life of the waterfall madman.
