Although nice, we came to the conclusion that this trail is best
travelled during the week when one can avoid the large crowds. The
trail was well kept until we passed the falls, where I noticed an
increasing number of poison oak-like plants intruding on the
trail. The falls were quite beautiful, and I imagine that swimming
there would be fairly nice (water quality considerations
notwithstanding). It was definitely a nice day and a nice walk.
I took several film pictures of this and the surrounding areas. If
you're reading this particular paragraph then they're most likely not
scanned in yet.

| description | This man was fishing out of a small rowboat as we were leaving the area around the base of the Tugalo hydro station. Unfortunately, he shifted his weight further toward the middle of the vessel before I could snap a picture of the situation, as the boat was listing to the rear at almost at a 30° angle. |
