Day 11: Cascade Falls

We woke up this morning and decided to head to Cascade Falls near Elbow Pond. The weather was nice, still a little hot, and there weren't a lot of black flies which made the hike super fun. When we got there I was so intrigued because as we hiked we found this very changing scenery. It's very dry at the beginning, like a desert, then it turns muddy, then it's very green all of a sudden. So the views while we hiked were really interesting, and once we got to the waterfalls I was very impressed by their beauty. I was expecting this little waterfall but I was met with this big, slanted rock that was much bigger than I'd imagined, and water was rapidly running down. The waterfalls really exceeded my expectations and because of the relatively low number of black flies we were able to stay for a while, just enjoying being there.

After our hike we talked to Dave Pilla to double check that Proctor has a fire permit because Daisy and I want to host a bonfire tomorrow night (we hope that after today's rain the fire danger will go down). Dave gave us the okay, so our next stop was Hannafords. Now we are ready and have lots of s'mores to make, so we hope that everyone shows up tomorrow.

After lunch we continued to prepare for the bonfire and chopped some wood. Dave taught us how to do it, and it is actually much harder than it looks (Dave just makes it seem so effortless). We have everything we need though, so now we can just hope that people come tomorrow!
