# 6 Bridal Veil Falls


Perfect Day for waterfall viewing. There was a lot of time spent in the car between viewings, but the kids didn't seem to mind too much... that is until we were finally on our way back to meet their parents. Our little gray map was missing a few roads that we needed to know the names of in order to get back. Our Phones were out of service, and we were at least an 1 1/2 hours away from our campsite. It was at the moment that we realized we could be truly lost that Sunny informed us that she had to tinkle. Perfect...  There were no marked streets, let alone roadside markets with public bathrooms. I've never in my life felt so helplessly lost. Worried that we would not find our way back before dark, worried that Sunny would end up tinkling in the back seat. Worried because we were all hungry and no one knew how long it would be until dinner. Worried because the road that we had chosen as the one we needed to be on turned into a gravel  after about 10 miles. and then...
 We had coverage...we found a bathroom...and Shiloh decided that she probably wasn't going to throw up after all.  

WHEW! ! !
