East Bank Inner Valley, Mon 30 Nov 2020

You can't believe everything you read...

Stopping for a pause --  on wet rock??

Umbrellas were more useful than walking sticks.

11 hardy hikers turned out on this soggy day.

Sixteen Mile Creek is probably running higher by now.

Looking downstream

Even the fishermen stayed home today.

Staying apart, trying to stay dry

 
What a difference a day makes:on the pre-hike the day before.
