Ram Falls

IMG_5509

Our trip yesterday, Thursday, took us up to the South Ram River on the Forestry Trunk Road. Just east of the road is Ram River falls. It is a beautiful spot but man are there a lot of stairs to get to the viewpoint.

I took a scamper down them but as you can see Brenda and her bad knee stayed at the top, she is up there encouraging me as I looked up. Oh and she kept our picnic lunch up there so that gave me a little more incentive to clamber back up to the top.

Well with one more look around I headed back up the stairs and boy did that lunch taste good, and what a great view.

If you look at that little island below the falls you can just see a young fellow standing on the left side. He was fishing down there and almost every time he drop a fly in the water he caught a fish. Good sized ones from what I could see with the telephoto too.

But in this part of the country it is Catch and Release so his frying pan will be empty tonight.

Here is a look at my traveling partner and a couple of fishermen we saw along the creek as we snooped at a new campground

that we might take our horses into some time in the future. A beautiful drive but time to head home and see what is happening back with the working folks at Dogpound North.

  3. Just stunning... love your photos!!! Poor Brenda's knee ~ I know I have a bad one too and will be having knee replacement in October. I have had 2 minor surgerys and they worked for a while but I am tired of the pain and want it fixed so I can get back to hiking and my regular walking. Hope she gets some relief soon! Tell her I take Meloxicam and it helps...
    Have f un & Travel safe

  4. Breathtaking pictures! I can see why you like living in the frozen North (at least in the summer).
