Not camping but figured this would be the best spot for it feel free to live if needed…
This past weekend I went out on two solo trips. The first was to a little known waterfall. There is no trail to this waterfall and I had to cross knee-high water and a smaller creek several times. Fortunately it was only knee-high to make it easy to cross, but at the same time, this meant the whole area is at low flow since it’s been a while for any substantial rain. I just followed the small creek upstream for about a mile. There was many fallen trees and boulders I had to scramble under and over. Finally, I came to a 60 foot waterfall.
The next day, I loaded up my kayak and went to the same area. This time, I put in at creek and started paddling upstream. As I mentioned earlier, the water level is low. I ended up creek walking to another waterfall.
I then went back down stream and was able to get back into my kayak and paddle down to the river. After a few miles, I finally came upon an Indian mound that was severed from the mainland with the building of a dams in the area.
The mound has a sign on it restricting it from being accessed.
And then I had a long paddle back up river and up the creek again to load everything back up.
In open water like this, it’s important to have a gps to keep on track, a keen sense of direction, or the ability to overcome the fear of getting lost.
