Swimming at Eagle Falls

Saturday, May 28, 2005
























Yesterday was the first really nice, really hot day of the summer. We had heat upwards of 90 degrees. Tim, Scott and I decided to take the day off and go out to the mountains and go swimming. We headed to Eagle Falls, a waterfall with a nice swimming area about an hour and a half out of Seattle on the way to Stevens Pass. We hit a ton of traffic on the way out and it ended up taking 3 hours to get out there. It then took us another hour to actually find the stop since the directions we had been given were about 10 miles off. Once we finally found the place it was about 6:30 and the sun was going down but it was still 80 or 90 degrees out. We jumped in the freezing river and went swimming. I just got a new water proof digital camera case and used it for the first time taking some really cool underwater photos and videos. When we got out of the water the sun set and we were totally numb, shaking uncontrollably for about 15 min. This was my first time at Eagle Falls but it will not be the last.

Wow, that is pretty sweet. Having a waterproof case like that definitely was worth it because that could come in use many times for trips like this. Ahh, if I only lived in the mountains or near mountains like you do. I envy you ;)

Hey Mike,

cool pictures, but I can't see the video in Firefox and IE. Something seems broken.

Hope you weren't wearing your contact lenses while swimming in the river, you could easily get an eye infection from bacteria or other nasties in the water.

There's something about Tim there that makes him look like Jesus. Post-baptism. ;-)

Great idea with the video! I took some underwater pics with my own waterproof camera case last spring in a pool by my apartment, but I never attempted to do movies. The sound really added a lot, too.

That video doesn't seem to play properly anywhere I try it. I've tried it on Safari (OS 10.3) and Firefox (XP sp2), and it doesn't show up at all. Odd
