turtlespeed 226 #1 August 8, 2006 . . . due to changes in lattitude. A short account of what I saw last week and weekend. We'll start at the end of the story - Kootenai Falls. Dave (Livendive) drove me back to Spokane to catch my flight back home. Along the way we stopped at Kootenai Falls - I can tell you that after experiancing this plus the trip to Glacier Park I am changed in alot of ways. Nature has been shown to me - and I look at it in a different light now. So - here are just a few of the many pictures that were taken. Sign - Entrance Sign Noticed Rock - A rock that Dave said he always notices on his way down a certain trail Through The Trees - just a picture along the trail to the small Falls Walk Bridge - Really interesting swinging bridge, this is only the sign though Small Falls - An absolutely beautiful small waterfall.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

turtlespeed 226 #5 August 8, 2006 And to finish the trip to Kootenai . . . I couldn't resist trying the water out myself . . . Yes, it was pretty cold. Jumping into Falls 1 - Me - Jumping into the Big Falls Jumping into Falls 2 - Me - Entering the water The Valley - It is and was enough to take your breath away - and it WAS let me tell you! But more than likely it is that I'm out of shape and it was a decent hike around the falls.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFXpert 0 #14 August 8, 2006 Depends on what we're judging... The safest way to enter water in which the depth is unknown and the starting height of the jump is considerable is to cross arms over chest & jump in sitting position with toes pointed up, not down so heels immediately followed by bootie are first to hit the water. Either way, his form is less than perfect. 5. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFXpert 0 #24 August 8, 2006 QuoteSee, I had to swim over to climb up the tree to get to the exit point I am quite observant and must say, for the record, it is unclear in said picture where said tree begins and ends. Thus, based solely on the photo submitted it is entirely possible one end is on land.Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turtlespeed 226 #25 August 8, 2006 It is true - the one end is on the land. The big end. I am aware that you, as a woman, are very observant indeed, but if you look more carefully - I am already soaking wet before I jump.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
