Battle Creek
We spent Mother’s Day weekend up in northern CA visiting the in-laws. I had hopes of doing a big hike on Monday to some new waterfalls, however the weather put a big damper on that idea. I got out in the rain, but didn’t do anything significant or get to any new stuff. It would not have been very pleasant to do a 12 mile hike in the pouring rain.
This shot was taken before the rain started, on Saturday evening. This is Lower Battle Creek Falls near Mineral. The creek was raging. When I was here last time, we were able to get right down in the creek at the base of the falls. I even brought my water shoes along so I could do a similar type of thing. What was I thinking. The creek was flowing far too deep and fast to do any such nonsense this time. This shot was taken from up on a rock on the steep hillside.
