Sending Postcards from Space Camp

It’s not really on my “official” list of things to do, but I’ve definitely always wanted to play in waterfall: This year, I feel like I’ve finally accomplished that (a couple of times over!). It’s such an awesome feeling to me experiencing things like this. It’s something so small & it probably wouldn’t even cross most people’s minds, but to me, it’s just simply  amazing .

Yesterday (over a year ago now actually), I finally got to check off number 28 on my list of things to do: cliff jumping! Highlight of the day: (An awesome display of my great luck!) Slipping and falling off a completely, 100% DRY rock and falling into the fast current! A truly great display of my luck, no injuries: Just a little scare! Here’s a site with a little more info about the falls. I use this site quite often to check out where falls are around me. It makes finding the hidden ones a lot easier and gives some great info! http://www.gowaterfalling.com/waterfalls/canyon.shtml

If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living. I love living in the U.P.! There are so many fun (and free) things to do with my days off! This is one of the few mini-trips I’ve gone on: it’s only about 10 minutes from my house and a short hike around. Hungarian Falls! There are a couple sets of falls which are very easy to access and walk around. The last fall however is on private land and very hard to see during the summer with all the trees. But if you walk to the top of the falls and look over it is an amazing view! I’m hoping to go back in the winter and visit again, next time with a real camera too instead of my cell phone! The Keweenaw Peninsula website has more information and good directions to the falls. The “address” google or most GPSs will give will just take you to the main road towards the falls and not actually to the falls themselves.
