joined me
on this trip...Because I wanted to travel all over and attempt to find things that proved quite difficult to locate, we arrived at South Mountain shortly before dusk. We drove in to one of the parking areas, took a look at yet another map seemingly leading through nowhere, and we decided to find the "Boy Scout Area" parking as it was closest to the falls. We met some folks on their way out and got directions: "Head into the red trail, pass over a bridge, keep going on the red trail until you see a sign that says, 'Rahway.' Make a left, and you can't miss the falls." Little did the man know who he was dealing with here; I could miss them if I was under them getting soaked! OK, maybe I'm not that bad. We proceeded into the woods, looking at each other as if to say, "Did that man mean we walk right into the woods?" Yes, he did. We finally noticed the markings on the trees. At one point from where we stood there were trees with red, black, yellow, and red/white markings on them: excellent guidance for the novice hiker. So we kept on through, passing makeshift forts that looked more like teepees to me.
Over the hills and through the woods, winding and meandering, we found the falls - nearly all dried up!
