8 Minutes
8 Minutes 8 minutes now has a new definition with me. It means -------- all sorts of things. Positively -- it could mean something you don't want to do -- that you do, for something well worth doing. Or it could mean ----- which is what I intend it to mean... "Yeah, I'll get right on that.. in 8 minutes... which means, NEVER." Sure... you just go over the dead animal carcass... the huge tree obstacle and you may see a snake or several... but the view of the waterfall is worth it!!! Somehow that deletes the oh hell no's that came before it. I didn't see one snake. Just for the record. Yet anywhere I touched I jumped as a snake may be there. It was clearly -- not a trail traveled. I saw a magical um... what do they call them here. In Wisconsin we called them DNR people.. they are the ones you get in trouble with for being where you aren't suppose to be. 8 My husband and I are still trying to figure out where in the HECK this magical older woman, came from. She was pressed. I mean, clothing... PERFECTLY UNWRINKLED WITHOUT ONE DROP OF MUD ON HER... and. um. THAT --- is impossible. I had a shoe full of mud. splatters everywhere... SWEAT MARKS DOWN MY SPINE!! -- she just appeared when we arrived at the destination; base of the waterfall... and said, "Technically, to inform you -- that is not really a trail." Then she shouted up to all the people noticing us-- down where we were NOT suppose to be... "YOU PEOPLE GET AWAY FROM THAT EDGE!! " She then proceeded to tell us she had the day off -- so we did not see her hiking that trail either... which is where I pressed my luck and asked how people got into the cave... Which is when she said, "I didn't tell you they go in this way behind that rock.. " I then asked her if it is easy to climb up this tree behind me and she said "Oh yeah, it's just like a ladder.. easy. " Up she went and poof ---- she was gone. ( Until we caught up with her later on the trail out.. ) I felt and still feel -- like she was this magical Santa Claus... "SHE DOES EXIST". We are both --- HOW IN THE HELL???!!! We heard everyone else coming towards us -- or above us, etc.. not her. NOT AT ALL. IMPOSSIBLE --- if you know the obstacles we were doing... just. "HUH???!" You could also see a good distance in front or behind.. yet did not see her, either. Yet --- 8 minutes. "HA!" Now.. technically the male that made that "8 minutes" priceless -- said it was 20 minutes farther down. I was trying to figure out if it was worth continuing --- it was rough and what was next ---- was going to be unpleasant. His female companion gave me the correct time ( 8 minutes tops ) she's the one that told me about the things I'd be horrified by being female. ( Dead animal, etc ) ---so that to somewhat ads the to WHOLE MEANING. That -- male, misleading... Similar to my husband's theory of just step on that edge// the stick will stop it from sliding.. he did honestly mean it. It just worked as I saw it working and I had a shoe full of diarrhea mud. Of course this happened as I was jumping to a tree I had to balance on... luckily my foot sliding and me falling into the mud ( like I imagined ) did NOT HAPPEN. ------------------------------------------------ was it worth it. YOU BET IT FUCKING WAS!!!! Big Lyons Waterfall Little Lyons Waterfall Any guesses to how or why the rock in the picture above is that way? It was something many of us could not figure out. I now know. Answer is in comments. Smiles. |

This is a sandstone rich area --- as it is at times a mud rich area... the rocks are that way from several using the rock to clean their boots/shoes. In time.. it's made those grooves....

I wanna go on that hike. Is it in Ohio? Or find little lyons by taking staircase by big lyons and climb down the root tree to the little lyons left ( if facing waterfall )
