essay bro

This is a great place to cool off during summer heat...!!!

I do not know why it has taken so long for me to finally hike up Rincon Creek… ah… er… my radar has told me for years now that there were waterfalls up there.  I just visited there for my first time in mid-November 2012 …and it is wonderful country.  I SHALL RETURN…!!!!
