The light wasn't doing me any favors, but I was surprised at the low degree of suckage for the conditions. Mainly just wanted to share the location with anyone who's never been there.

This was mainly a scouting trip for us last Sunday. Brian and I got to this waterfall and the first thing we thought was that it looked like a landscaper had built the waterfall. The last time I was there, I was a teenager. I know I was there, but I didn't recognize a thing. :rolleyes:

Well the flowers should be bursting up there this week, so if you have time, it's worth the trip.

It's a real beaut, Curtis. I don't know where that is, though. Email it to me?

Where is there where the weather is fair? Lupines and waterfalls flowing like hair. Ahh, I crack me up! OK, Dr. Suess I'm not.

Low degree of suckage...I like that! I bet this would be great with the right light.

Oh sorry guys, this is Bird Creek Meadows (Mt Adams/Yakima Indian Reservation). I haven't looked up the name of the falls yet/

Curtis,
Perfectly composed dude...aside from the harsh light...I like this a lot.

I think this area is well worth the return trip. You will have to catch it before the colors go away.
