Rented a car from Enterprise to run errands, go hiking and on Monday go to the dentist. They've got an incredibly cheap deal and it was a bargain.
Drove up to Mormon Emigrant, down the North South road (I think) and to Camp Creek. We hiked along a relatively level road that paralleled the creek and stopped at an unofficial camping spot to sit on some rocks and contemplate nature.
Back at the road, I looked upstream and could see that almost immediately, our path would be blocked by a cliff. We drove up to the dirt road and parked. This time, I couldn't really hear the waterfall from my last ill fated expedition but we headed off cross country (down) anyway. After crossing a granite slope, we saw a probably seasonal stream that might have been the source of the waterfall noise. It might make a good picture next year when it's gushing fully because it seems like it might have 2 cascades, 1 over the rocks and 1 undercutting some rocks.
Still it was an undemanding hike with the constant sound of the creek to still the thoughts. Commando scraped his leg and I'll keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get infected.
