Why frustrating?

I always print out a couple of different directions and maps when we go. Well both set of directions had us parking in the camping area for all three trails, all to waterfalls. We start with the first one and we end up at another parking lot. We see a board, just general information, no map you are here type deal (only map was at camping area). So we continue on just to see, but we feel that just isn't right when we see another sign and turn around. Apparently by another website that is where we were to start at, so we were almost there!!! Ugh!

We find the second one, marked well by the park. Start going to the third, one guide says go 2.5 and another 2.75 miles and you reach the path for a short walk to the falls. We go 2.9 miles and come to an intersection, this is the first time we see any new path. Our trail continues to the right, so we go that route, hit another intersection not marked. We go to the left for a mile, turn around go to the right and that ends. We finally give up and return. I still could not find any other directions that mention anything different and the park is clearly not marked besides the 2nd trail.

Pretty bad for a national forest! The actual trails were great and the one fall we did see was beautiful.

That does suck. What about the people who might be trying it for the first time and just think they're doing something wrong?

Been a decent day here so far. Rain has moved in. Walking Dead is on later.

No rain here yet, supposed to be in later.

What size is your crockpot? I think mine is 3-4 quart, I need a 5 I think. Made a roast for the first time today with veggies. By the time we put in the veggies, we could only put in half the meat, which is not a lot!

I like working early/getting off early every now and then. I wouldn't mind doing it every day if I could get in bed at a decent time. It doesn't happen that often with kids though.
