Capistrano Falls that is. The Wednesday Walkers changed things up yesterday and had ourselves trucked out to the end of the road in Gordon Heights, Olongapo. Then we hoofed it up the mountain and down to the falls. A short, but challenging walk there and back again. The falls were certainly impressive enough, much more so than I’ve seen on previous excursions to so-called waterfalls. I’ve got some photos of the journey to share with you:
Up and down.Let’s get started!Crossing the creek…Up we go!Through the woods.Where’s John? (I was taking the picture…)Near the top of the climb we encountered the construction of some powerline towers.If you look closely you can see the workers clinging near the top. Damn, what a job!A bit further on we came to a recently completed tower. Impressive.Another view…I liked this tree. It was covered in red flowers on top. My poor photography didn’t do it justice.We came upon this abandoned house. Literally in the middle of nowhere. No roads, no power, nothing. Quality concrete construction and several rooms. The how and why it got there would be an interesting story I bet...Hey, look! It’s a waterfall!Betty enjoying the cooling spray…You can see how high this one was…not Jim, the waterfall.A much-needed shower!Water, water, everywhere!Ha! That’s the kind of falls I was expecting based on past experience.Alright, time to head back to the truck.You coming, Betty?I haven’t seen that much grass since high school…Another mountain view…We just reversed course and went back the way we came…Lunchtime at the construction site.Back to the outskirts of civilization.Across the bridge to the road…Thanks for having us!Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin’, we’re gonna do what they say can’t be done...This post is standing tall and proud. Hope you enjoyed it!
Impressive falls, for sure. Thanks for the tour.
