Challenge Overcome
25 July 2018 | Ribiera das Silva
Ribiera das Silva ... it looks like no oneever stepped foot there before . Or , Michael Chreighton , thought up the scenery for one of his books . A small adventure in the grand scheme of things , but today it was my adventure .
It was otherworldly and left me awestruck . To reach the falls you had to hike up the stream center , slipping and sliding over rocks , wading through pools , maybe 300 yds . It was awesome !
The vegetation hung off the walls of the gorge , leaving only a narrow cleft of sunlight . The stream wove left and right until you finally heard the roar and thunder of the falls . Once past the last blind curve, the falls could be seen dropping the 50-60'into a pool of very cold , very clear water .
I could have screamed my fool head off and no one would have heard me ...... not saying that's what I did .
