Coises -foiled again - dentist had a cancellation for doing a crown on tooth broken by a cough drop while sick.
So John's take:
14 of us decided the dark skies weren't going to let loose again and showed up for Wednesday's hike on the Independence Trail West. Selma, Marilyn S. and N., Akiko, Priscilla, Tammi, Cyndi, Barbara G., Karen, Maureen, Steve and Ellyn, Stan and John hiked the easy four mile roundtrip past lovely flowers (including a hillside loaded with Chinese Lanterns), beautiful waterfalls, and historic outhouses. We were turned around by a flooded trail about two miles in, and returned to the Rush Creek overlook for lunch. The wooden flume crossing the creek is very impressive (John had never been on this trail and was amazed) and the switchbacked ramp structure leading to the water at the base of the falls was a marvel.
The group is thinking of heading higher next week if the weather continues warm and dry, perhaps doing Loney Meadows. Any thoughts?
Historic outhouses? really? See you next week.
