This morning after I got here dad said that we would be going up indian river to the falls. I started getting ready, and Rowan got here dad told her to get ready also, so we were both getting ready. After we had gotten ready we went out, and waited to the car for dad. We drove to the trail head then got out, and started walking up the trail. It was a bit slippery on the way up the trail, and after we had gotten back far enough we got into snow that had gotten compacted enough that it had turn into ice. We slipped quite a bit and fell a few times. It took us about 45 minutes to get up to the first bridge, and it looked like it had been really quite windy up there at some point because there were pine needles pine cone and branches laying in the trail and across the trail. I took us about an hour to reach the half way point, and it just kept getting more icy as we went along up the trail. I had fun though walking across logs, and crossing creeks. Once we were getting closer to the falls I went ahead to see if I could make it there in 15 minutes. It took me half an hour to get up to the falls from the point I had left dad and Rowan. It took me a total of two hours to make from the trail head to the falls. Once I got to the falls I saw that some of it was frozen, and some of it was open water. I carefully walked across the ice, and got on a little gravel bar the had a bunch of snow on it. About 10 minutes later dad and Rowan got there and dad called me back across to eat lunch. After we had eaten lunch we all walked up to the falls. Once we got to the base of the falls I saw that all the ice was pointing tords to falls. We took some photos of the falls then started heading home. Once we got back down to the first bridge we stopped and took some photos of plants then went on home. It took us about two hours to get back to the car.
- Question why was the ice pointing tords the water fall?
- Question why was it so ice up there?
- Question when will we go back up there?
