Day 9 tramp in woodsth

Well the wifi is cut off so am back to my data usage, but at least I don't have to deal with the obgoung buffering!
Back to the tramp.  Lucy was not allowed on the trail so she stayed in the car, very sad.  She loves hiking.
Other flowers looked like potentilla and sedum. Queen Anne's lace, some sort of orchid, peaking out from the greenery.  Just lovely.  The first waterfall was fun for families with young kids cuz you could walk out a bit towards the water or sit and have a snack.  Quite a few people with tripods and one man with two hefty cameras and a tripod.  The second waterfall was spectacular as were the others.  It started to rain.  We did not have a windbreaker with us.  Note to self: use one of those 5 you bought along.  Most people did have them.  There were a few foolish ones in flip flops.  The temperature was in the 50s with pretty good wind.  I fortunately remembered a head band and gloves as well as my last bag of sour gummy bears.  The water is running briskly into the river.  I doubt anyone could survive if they fell in, since the water is the run off from the snow.  I would guess we were at about 8,000 ft. Actually drowning is the leading cause of death in the park.
I carefully selected laundry rocks and they are safe In the back seat of the truck ready to be inscribed. The last Park of the hike getting back to the car was brutal.  Whatever goes down, has to come up Jane!Then we took a long drive back down to the southern end of the park, the R got out and took a pic of another waterfall but I was done with that and quite sleepy in the warm car.  Lucy was restless moving back and forth between the front seat and my lap and the back seat.  We went back to Browning which is a sad town I talked about in the Blackfoot reservation and were instructed to go to the Casino coffee shop for a bottle of Vodka.  We are not close to being out of booze, but you never know when you might run into difficulty. I got a bad latte along with the Vodka. Heading back we were just in awe of the surroundings.  Can't say enough.  Tomorrow we will see what we can find on the western part of the park.

I have to add this for the benefit of others that when I write there is usually a malaprop and some factitious piece of information for you to decide on.  For instance, I know that SD is known for its badlands, so when I said ND flatlands, that was me.  When I say I saw a platypus or some other thing.  I really do know what I am talking about.  These "reads" are meant for p,easier not high literary consumption and editing.
Gotta go til the morrow.
