Actually it does! I sleep like a rock when I'm there because of the sound of the water.

Hopefully the sound of the falls drowns out the 24/7 traffic noise.

A little bridge demolition should do the trick!! ;)

Hopefully you stay injury free and your camera gear stays dry. Thanks for checking out the link! Another way I've seen people stay leagal and shoot the lower falls is to paddle in from the lake on kayaks and then hike up the falls-- it's pretty steppy at the bottom and isn't too much of a challenge as long as it's not running to high.

Things to do:

1) Buy kayak
2) Learn how to kayak

;)

Speaking of camera gear: Til now I've been using a point-n-shoot Samsung. I just picked up a Canon EOS Rebel T1i. You can be guaranteed I will be taking less risks out there when I've got that thing with me. I'm still going to hold onto the Samsung for those times when I can't keep myself from climbing out on some ledge somewhere, tho.

Of course you are Beth! I apologize. I would have remembered if I had looked back at your posts. It's just been so long since we heard from you! How's it going with your new neighbors uphill? ;) I hope that the renovations are going faster than their new website!
