The Adventures of Sunsette -- Texas Travels, Part II— Apr. 12

[Alliecat]

“Hi again, everybody! Thanks for following our adventures! I’m not sure you could call it shorts weather; it was only a few degrees, But yeah, we’ve seen lots of shorts and T-shirts so it’s pretty nice.  davidd, if you look on a map you will see tons of little islands between Vancouver Island and the mainland. These are flooded mountaintops from millennia past! The islands are all quite hilly.

“Yesterday Mum took us to Anmonite Falls, which gets lots of promotion in the tourist literature and is absolutely not as advertised. It isn’t under any circumstances ’an accessible trail perfect for any level of hiker’. It’s very steep, the trail is not as well marked as it could be, and the descent to the bottom of the gorge is nearly vertical. This hike involved one of Mum’s typical ‘detours’ in which she scrambled down one of said vertical slopes to end up in the bottom of the gorge with no view of the falls at all. At the actual falls there are ’trail closed’ signs and this is all you can see – the top.
“At least, the one thing we were glad was not as advertised was that there weren’t any cougars or bears, mentioned on the trail sign!
“Love, Sunsette    ”
