June 30 - Whitewater River - again

A friend of mine that I have mentioned before - KT - was up for a week over the 4th holiday. His cousin Cathy has moved up to this area, so those 2, Harry, and I met for a hike. At the last minute we decided to head back to the upper Whitewater River. KT had seen my pictures from a few weeks back and had the itch to go. We decided to park a vehicle at the bridge on Hwy 281, then take another to the Hwy 107 side, do the series of waterfalls down river, then shuttle back. It was a beautiful day to be out in the river, but not for photography, so I shot more video.

Our main mission this time was to get to the top of Exit Falls at the end of the gorge. We found the only semi-safe way down, but the only way to see the gorge was to swim for it. After the shallower water at the start of the gorge, the water drops off into a very deep pool. The river current wasn't very strong, so I swam over to take a peek around the corner. We could tell there was some kind of falls splashing into the pool.
