Write Up:
It was a beautiful day to hike to Jack's Falls. There was only a 10% chance of rain and we were off! (remember this part...)

After finding a spot to part in what seemed to be a mall parking lot, we met up with our final hiker and started the journey. The hike went well with no major road bumps. We stopped at the falls for lunch and ignoring our mother's many threats, we did NOT wait 30 mintues before swimming.

After everyone had their fill of Jack's Falls, we packed up our stuff and headed back to the cars. However, the adventure was not over. About a mile away from the parking, the sky darkened, the clouds got angry, and they roared with emotion. Drop, drop, POUR! As we neared the cars with our bodies drenched (why did I return that rain jacket to REI?), the rain stopped. Yay! it was over, until... HAIL! Fortunately, everyone was safe inside thier vehicles at this point.

Thanks again to everyone that shared one of our favorite spots with us. Hope to see you on an adventure soon!
