Buttermilk Falls

The weather was perfect for going on a hike and I had heard about a waterfall and hike that I just had to see for myself.  It was extremely to get to and yet still very remote and beautiful.  We played on the rocks and wadded in the very cold water.  Tank loved going through the stream and running along the bank of the water.  He quickly became a huge soggy mess.  after we hung around the falls, we followed the path up the stream bed where we found a plaque.  The site where were standing was where a dam used to exist, with a mill, and a few other structures.  All that was left was a mound where the dam sat and you could make out stones that might have been the foundation.  If that plaque hadn't of been there I would have had no idea what had been there.  It made me think about how impermanent we are and how change is imminent.

We stopped at a bridge had a little snack and played on the bridge under the canapĂ© that the old hard wood trees made with a blanket of ferns on the ground that caught the remainder of sun that broke through.  This setting with the blend of history gave this place interest and mystery.  We had our good time and stopped in the little town for a lunch of pizza and sandwiches.  The day was simple and made for good memories.
