Thailand pt 4 - "Sticky Falls"

Jordan, Peyton Smith, and 2 of his friends

These falls are unique in that the rocks themselves aren't very slippery, but are like sandpaper, enabling you to climb up and down them. Watch out for the green and brown, though, because they are VERY slippery. Jordan fell 3 times, I fell once. The Smiths have a friend who's son died here, falling a long ways. For the most part these falls are divided up into sections, that's why you see so many different photos. They fall and then turn a corner and fall some more. Then there's a cute little pool of water and you think you're done,but you're not. You go to the edge and another huge drop is in front of you. We climbed up and down them twice. Which was one time too many. We had trouble walking and squatting the next few days, we were so sore. But this was such an amazing experience, it was one of my favorite days in Thailand.

My stupid blogger editor won't let me rearrange my photos, that's why they're mostly in a straight line and out of order sometimes .. I can't seem to fix it.. sorry..
