Ranger Danger Dave by Burke

On the 24th of June the Alzar School spent the day with river ranger "Danger" Dave.  We started with some paddling and service work, pulling scotch broom, an invasive species.  After that we were rewarded with an amazing hike to a secluded waterfall.  Now I've done some hiking in my day, and I'm not the biggest fan.  But this hike was awesome!  We crossed a creek three times, and one of them we had to set up a safety line across the river to hold onto because the current was so strong.  At one point, part of the group got sidetracked and climbed up a rock face and some rocks fell but no one was hurt.  Then, when the whole group caught up and reorganized we realized we had lost Ranger Dave.  After we took a few pictures at a beautiful smaller waterfall, Dave came back and showed us the way to the main falls, but it was getting late and so we turned around and made our way home.  So, no we did not make it to our destination, but we still had an amazing day with Dave.
