C05 - Buttermilk Falls
Home Role Call Related Info Log of Events Eagle's Nest

As has already been mentioned, the weather this year was absolutely fantastic, and it gave great excuse to return to one of our favorite spots.  We were worried that with the record heat of the summer that the water levels might have been low, but if anything, the opposite was true.  For the few years we've been coming here, this was the most impressive we've ever seen the falls.



Pretty much everybody got into the act, even despite the extremely strong current.

We had one scout get covered by tiny leeches, but that was because he was poking around in the still water up above the waterfalls.  No harm done.

And something stood out strong amongst our scouts... a willingness for the older and stronger swimmers to help and encourage the younger ones.  Nobody asked them to do it... they just did, and for that we are extremely proud.  Well done, guys!
