The Wonky Whirlpool
About
I didn’t think dawn was going to be good so I decided to catch up with Dave, with Kane and Lance – and Josh, to check out Cedar Creek as it’s a cloudy day here today.
It was fantastic and now that we know the way, we can head back again – but with at least another person.
My tripod fell off a ledge (no camera attached) as I was tossing it up to the higher rocks and I had to fish it out of a large pool – then I preceded to climb out and fall back in again!
