Seems like someone took care of the hornets - thank you! The hike is slick from the rains, but the ropes make it doable - I suggest some garden gloves to help with the ropes. And, wow, what a spectacular waterfall!
Great place to go shooting. Please pick up your brass and follow the rules so it stays open.
