A view

Went for a drive, thinking I'd head up Little North Fork a good ways, except the way was blocked at so-so, sooooo I drove and thunk on until I hit the town limits of Mill City, pop. 1570, elev 850' and remembered the bridges. With a little bit of luck I might see some trout and salmon taking the little falls there. Instead, lots of recreators.

Amongst these were two fourteen year old daredevils.
 The camera makes it look a lot farther to the water than it is, I guessed about forty-five feet from the guard rail to the water.  They each jumped three times, quitting just about the time the sheriff's deputy caught wind, the boys having a sense about such things. They then moved to rocks about twenty-five feet above the water. Although the deputy and I are acquainted, I did not snitch.
Other youths were less ambitious, yet all liked having their picture taken.

"The Path" is brilliant. Actually, there's a bit of a Lost reference in that picture.

It was nice to take a couple hours to stand in one place and just watch. Thanks, folks.

wow, the smaller cliff... no prob, but the bridge with a pipe to jump over? Not sure I would have done that one. I guess it depends on how cute the girl watching was... ahhh youth.
