High Creek Waterfall

It's only 5 miles they say....
What they didn't mention was that it was up hill the entire way!
It was still worth it though.
We lost Kirk and Daphne for a while since they were the caboose.
Kirk had a migraine headache. Literally.
He also has Fear of Missing Out. Which is why he went on this strenuous hike,
With a Headache!!
Jasper ran out in front to run along this log until he got half way across and realized there was deep water rushing underneath! Then he back tracked until he reached Jared who wouldn't let him pass.
He took one look at Jared and figured he better just go across.
Jared has a threat of authority over that poor dog without even trying.
 I think he makes Jasper nervous.
He got over it pretty fast, and moved on.
Then he waited for the rest of us to come over. 
He wouldn't leave that spot until we were safely on his side.
I wonder what he was thinking.
These three hike fast! I could barely keep up with them.
Half the time I was alone in my own thoughts enjoying nature.
This waterfall was really pretty but in complete shade so 
I couldn't get a decent picture...not that it would have turned out. 
Daphne smiling after a bit of rest.
We hiked up to the mouth of the spring. There was a ton of water coming out of this hole at Kaleb's feet. We filled up all our water bottles. It was the best tasting water I have ever tasted. It didn't taste like anything, just clean fresh water.
