Sally Queen Falls
Today (Sunday, 02-27-2011) Jack Thyen, Andy Kunkle (and Boone the dawg) and I went on a long bushwhack into the South Mountains Games Lands. We took this hike to try to find a waterfall that was rumored to be located on a stream in the game lands not far from the South Mountains State Park. Jack and Andy did the orienteering and I followed. Tomorrow I'll try to write more about the hellis...hike. This was one of the toughest hikes I've been on in a very long time. We pretty much bushwhacked the entire way, for we had to carefully stay on public land, off of posted private property, and without a single official trail to follow.We found the waterfall and discovered that it's not a rumor. It was well worth the very long, very tough hike in and out of the area.Until later, here are a couple of photos:
We even stumbled upon some nice old trees. This poplar was fairly impressive.

Yup! It was an awesome hike!
The area around the falls would make a great campsite. Maybe one of these days I'll go back with that in mind.
