Upper Truckee

I stepped out of my vehicle and was promptly annihilated by a thousand mosquitoes. Quickly, I dropped my bag, got out my bug juice, and doused myself with the stuff. Phew, that was a close one.

On the hike up to the waterfall, the little buggers were all over the place, but at least they were not biting me. There are three waterfalls on this river all within easy reach. The biggest one is the middle one, a 64 ft. high tiered waterfall, though it is a tough one to photograph, especially with the spray from the water going every which way. It was getting late, I did not think I would have time to go to all the waterfalls, but I wanted to be sure to get to the two upper ones. Once I got to the upper falls, the mosquitoes swarmed me again and I had to douse myself again to keep them away. Geez.
