When I was walking in the mountains with the Japanese man and began to hear the water, he said, 'What is the sound of the waterfall?' 'Silence,' he finally told me.

- Jack Gilbert, Collected Poems

Cat creek is one of the most charming creeks in all the land. Mom and I hiked it not too long ago and found many treasures along its path. Lichen, multitudes of flowers and even some weird finger shaped fungus! The best part is the waterfall at the end, tumbling into a pool of crystal clear water.

You should probably go.
