on the park. I was looking specifically for a trail map that
also listed the various plant life.
I bought a few things like key rings, postcards, magnets,
and a cool map that rolled up nicely for the travel home. We put all of our
items in the cars and then started to head off to the nearest trail head.
I had that same feeling of being watched again. I looked
around but didn’t see anything out of the ordinary, well for here anyways.
“B, this is the trail that leads to the waterfall Cash told
you about before we left.” Ash pointed to the trailhead on our right.
“Cool, let’s go that way! I am anxious to see what he was
talking about. Can I take pictures?”
“Yes, you can take pictures. I don’t see why you can’t take
photos as long as you keep them inside headquarters.” Ash looked at me and
laughed while I took out my cell phone to take some pictures.
“You actually brought your Earth Cell Phone here? You do
know that AT&T doesn’t have any cell towers on Sendryl, right?” Ash just kept
laughing, and Xandrie joined in with him.
“I do know that. But as soon as we walk back through any
portal on Earth, I will have use of my phone again. I am keeping it off while
here so that I have it when we get back. But I think taking a few photos will
be fine.” I took my phone out and turned it on. I wished at that moment that I
could have showed them to DeeDee.
Maybe one day she would know all about this life.
Chapter Seven
It took a good 45 minutes to hike to the waterfalls. But on
our way we walked right through the middle of a giant redwood. Someone at one
time had carved out the middle of the tree to make room for the path. It was so
crazy to see part of the trunk missing but yet the tree was still alive. I, of
course, took a few pictures of Ash and myself in the middle of the hole in the
trunk. That picture was turned into the wallpaper on my phone.
Once we got to the waterfalls I understood why Cash wanted
me to see this. “It is magnificent! I don’t think this is as big as Niagara
Falls, but it sure is more beautiful.” The main waterfall started at the top of
a mountain and stepped down between various pools of water between the top and
the bottom. There were five different pools along the way before the water
eventually ended in the large pool we were standing next to. All along the side
of the falls were rocks covered in various types of flora. There were so many colors;
almost all of the colors of the rainbow were represented.
It was so beautiful, I wished I had brought my swim suit. I
took off my shoes and socks then rolled my pant legs up and walked into the
water. It was almost as warm as a bath. I am definitely coming back with a
picnic lunch and swimsuit. This is somewhere I want to spend an entire day
playing in the water and napping.
Others in our group did the same thing. Half of us were
walking around in the shallow end of the warm pool. The rest were sitting on
the grass next to the water. It was like a combination of a park, a nature
preserve, and a Hawaiian waterfall. It didn’t seem like it could be real.
I started getting that strange feeling again and the hairs
on my arms stood up. Whatever was watching me was really close. I made my way
out of the water so I could get my shoes on and look around. I told Ash what I
was feeling.
“Alright, listen up. We might have company, everyone get out
of the water and get your shoes on right now. Xandrie and Isaac take a few
guards and fan out, look for any visitors.” Ash was giving directions to the
rest of the guards as well. We stayed there by the water.
“B, are you a good swimmer?”
“Yes, I’m a strong swimmer. I grew up on the beaches of
Newport and Huntington. You had to be a strong swimmer with the undercurrents
there.” I knew what he wanted. If we were attacked and it looked bad, I was to
take off into the water as fast as I could.
“Are you going to make me swim away alone? I won’t leave you
here”
“No,
