On this day, Eddie and I set out in the pouring rain from the Ramsey Cascades Trailhead to hike to see water. More specifficly, cascades. This was a nice little hike and much easier compared to the last few we'd done. The rain really didn't distract too much from that. A couple of miles in, we came to these huge tulip trees. I'm 6'2" and these trees make me look tiny. Pretty awesome.

A few more miles and we were there. As we approached the cascades, I think the tempreture dropped about 1,000 degrees. Then we took off our backpacks and it dropped another 1,000 degrees so we didn't hang around very long. Still, it was an amazing site to see.

By the time we made it back to the trailhead we were soaked. I guess a raincoat can only take so much. Still, a very good and enjoyable hike. I'll definately have to go back in drier weather someday.

On a side note, when leaving, if you drive across 321 to Hills Creek Road, there's a really cool covered bridge. So now you know.
