CAMPING DURING SPRING BREAK [part 2]

The last day we were at Big Basin we decided to take this 11 mile hike. We figured we could wake up EARLY eat breakfast, cook and pack a lunch and dinner then be on our way. We did not wake up so early that day but we still went because it was our last day there. We each carried our own backpack with food and water. There is a warning in the beginning of the hike that says, "WARNING STRENUOUS HIKE!" And it was damn tiring! It was really steep compared to the other hikes.
On our way up we stopped for a quick rest, a man was heading back all tired and sweaty. He said he was not prepared for that hike; he then asked us for water. He looked really tired, probably because he was pretty over weight. One of my friends gave the man a bit of water. I felt bad for that guy but then i started thinking about how bad the hike was going to be. It was pretty damn difficult.
We ate the lunch we had made for ourselves. When we finally got to the top there was an damn amazing water fall that we walked on to and took some pictures in front of it. there were tons of newtons in the water; it looked like some of them were mating. We all thought the waterfall was pretty awesome. We all thought the hike was well worth it. We kept on walking down and we saw that the waterfall continued! We were not expecting it to. There was a part of the water fall where we had to walk right next to it!! There was a thick wire to hold on to and we had to walk on some carved out rocks that made a staircase. It was super freaking crazy! It was pretty scary to look down; it was like we were about to fall down with the water fall. My friend Eddie took some pictures of Brittany and I walking down next to the water fall. The rock we were walking on was pretty slippery. Brittany and i were in front of everyone so we did not see when our friend Jose slipped! Eddie held on to him and Jose held on to the wire. Jose only hurt his elbow but he was okay. It was horrible to think what could have happened. I only saw Jose when he was already down. Brittany thought that Eddie would have been the one to fall because he is so clumsy.
The hike was worth it! the walk down was pretty nice its like we did not have to do much. Even though my toes kinda hurt by the end because we were walking down hill. So my feet were sliding down and my toes were pressing down on my boots hahaha weird. It was like i was walking on the tip of my toes forever!
This Spring break was the best I had ever had. I was with my close friends camping out in nature for 6 days! It was wonderful to be around nature. I cannot wait to go again, even though it has not been long since we went haha. TWAS GREAT!
