Sarah already touched a bit on what we have been up to the past few days, but I wanted to share a specific story with y'all. So on Wednesday the summer staff ventured up to YS Falls. It is a beautiful waterfall with various entities to offer. At the falls you can simply marvel at the beauty, jump off a rope swing into the frigid waters below, zip line, and so on. We chose to climb them a bit and visit what I would like to call the funnel pool of doom. The staff walked along the edge of what was seeming to be a friendly little fall towards a nice looking whirl pool... This being my second summer on staff and revisiting these falls I knew it was a bit of a doozy, but little did others know this whirl pool wasn't so nice... As we approach the little pool the sheer force of the water swept me right in. I have never been so frightened in the water before. Around and around I went in the water under the not so friendly fall. I was trying to grab for anything I could. I finally made it back up for air and a good laugh! Now let me just say while I was under the water I was not enjoying it at all, but when I finally made it out it was quite the rush. I did find myself making it toward the more friendly waters afterwards. It was so fun sharing the experience of climbing on the waterfalls with the staff and jumping off. Like Sarah said this break came at a perfect time and YS Falls was the perfect ending to the break before we came back home. Later gaters!
