Sun again.
A bit of sun. We are finally at the end
of Eastern Journey. We swing around the
back side of the falls and head back West.
Frankly I
was a bit disappointed at the falls last
night. We of Western blood are not used
to seeing falls quite like this. From
here we are on the top looking down. I
was raised with Bridle falls, Yellowstone
falls,
Snoqualmie falls. They come to us
from mountains high above. This is
something where the water just falls, over a cliff and we are level with them
. the mist was also in the way and the
huge Midwest thunderstorm.
The sun
woke me about 6 am and I was pleased to see that the mist settled down, and I
began to watch the water, the never ending water fall, plunge, leap, did I
mention fall, down the horse shoe cliff.
The river is Mississippi wide and smooth and the rapids are short and
tentative. I can imagine it must have
been a surprise to see it from river level the first time. As I look at the people walking by this
morning, the size is confirmed. I will
be wearing my new Cowboy rain coat. I
will be seeing it up close. I will be a
grand adventure to our trip. Our swing
around will be eventful as we head back to our home, crossing the country licity
split.
This time
it is about seeing people we love and care about. Part of our people that have been with us for
so long. Deeply held and valued friends.
