Beautiful Valley Falls

.


This was Jeff Prycl's annual waterfall running class.  Due to a somewhat lengthy but successful removal of a tree limb that was protruding from the base of the first waterfall, we didn't actually get to start running the falls until around 1:00 PM.  This late start limited us to only about 1/2 mile of the run but did include both of the big falls.

.


Bob Stevens and I ran the first falls many times.  My first two attempts were unsuccessful but the last three where right on.

Before calling it a day, Bob tried his luck on the second falls having a couple good runs and one that wasn't so successful.

.


All in all, a great day of waterfall running!
