Roughlock Falls

On Friday while Craig was working we drove through Spearfish Canyon and stopped at Roughlock Falls for lunch and a two mile hike. It was a perfect plan until Craig was done with work. I had never done the hike, we usually just drove to the parking lot of the waterfall and walked a few yards and we were there. I remember coming to Roughlock falls with my cousins the Falks. We would actually play in the stream and walk to the falls. However it is all now all blocked off and signs posted saying please stay out, fall restoration. We had a lot to talk about. Of course Carter was his silly self giving us all kind of "What if" scenarios. There were all kinds of flowers in bloom it was a nice hike and had plenty of shade which was cool. In the middle there was a bridge all the way across and you could see fish swimming all over. There were a few fishermen too. It was a nice relaxing day and the scenery was beautiful! Brenden kept taking pictures of himself with his camera so I was glad I caught one of him doing that! It is a fun reminder! I think I take for granted this wonderful Earth and all the creations. I am glad I can be reminded of that after the fact!
