After our camping trip, we returned home, quickly unloaded the van, convinced Trina and Wes to join us and headed out the door on another adventure. Our neighbor informed us they had opened the spillway overflow at Gunlock and the water was cascading down the red rocks. We saw the waterfalls when we first moved here, but I’m not sure it’s been spilling since then, except when it flooded this winter. We actually tried to make the short trek this winter after the flood, but the dam was snowpacked and it was SO cold we didn’t get very far before all the kids were crying and we had to turn around.
The kids loved this adventure.
Jenna was a little overwhelmed when we tried to set her down. I LOVE the sound of rushing water and the smell. I just want to breathe in that crisp, clean, beautiful scent. I grew up with a river that ran about 30 feet behind my parents home. During the summer, I would leave my bedroom window open and fall asleep to the sound of the water and the wonderful smell.
Bella, of course, got right in the water and caused us to have a few tense moments. Don’t worry Grandma we were constantly watching her!
