Burgess Falls


We dropped off our RV for repairs and then took off for a local park called Burgess Falls.  I’m almost glad we had those repairs since we wouldn’t have stopped otherwise (given the price of a compressor, I’m not that glad.)
         
There were three main falls along with the dam to see.  The biggest is pretty dang big.  It’s not as big as Niagara Falls, but it’s neat in that you can get really close and be in the spray of it plus it’s all free.  Getting up close was a bit difficult since it involved climbing down a rough path while the mist made the stones slippery. But fun!

 There were spots along the river where you could see ruins.  There used to be a grist mill and an early (1920’s) electric power station all powered by the water.

 
 When we got back our RV was fixed.  Yeah!  Plus the car dealership was having some kind of special event and had a free buffet lunch.  Nice!
