Below are more of the "muddy" pictures we took on Labor Day while at Mill Creek in Forest Falls.
The mud was definitely more of an attraction during this trip than the water.
Especially intriguing was throwing rocks in the mud pits and listening to the "thwunk" sound.
While exploring the mud, we met some nice Forest Falls locals, Sherry, Mike and their dog Grumbles. They told me quite a sad story about the flash flood that had occurred there two days prior. A family of "flatlanders" (as they call us) was visiting the falls when the flood occurred. Their beloved dog was washed away in the flood, right before their eyes.
Mike and Sherry were actually out in the creek that day searching for the dog's body. They were hoping to find it, so that the family could have some sense of closure in their mourning process. I was touched by the compassion these people had for a family they didn't even know. All they knew is how they would feel if it had been their dog lost in the flood.
Thematic Photographic #3: Another Shot of Mill Creek
The second shot is C2, scrambling across the "roaring rapids". The water was full of sediment and not nearly as clear as seen in the photos of our previous trip. Daddy C pointed out to us that there was recently flash flood .We went back to one of our favorite spots on Labor Day. You guessed it! Mill Creek again. It is just so darn close and such a fun outing, not to mention, every time we go I get to take more pictures. This first one is looking downstream in the early evening.
Stay tuned for "Muddy Wonderland Part 2" tomorrow. (Hopefully!)
