Kodwa kuphela okungajwayelekile, ingabe sibheka ushintsho lomlingo ukuthi i-White Tank Mountain Regional Park ihamba ngemva kwemvula. Kungavamile ukuthi izivakashi kanye nezakhamuzi zibhekiswe emanzini okugwedla amanzi ekupheleni kwe-Waterfall Trail.

Kwakumile, futhi ngangazi ukuthi kwakukhona iwindi elincane nje lapho ngingahlola khona umlingo wehlane ngemva kwemvula.
Imifula ivela ehlane
Ngazimisa eRamada 7 futhi ngaphuma eMfuleni iMesquite. Amatshe ayekhazimulayo njengoba ilanga liphuma ngemuva kwamafu emvula. Umzila wawugcwele izithelo ezintsha, ezintsha. Ngesikhathi ngibingelela abanye abahambahambayo emgwaqeni, ngayeka futhi ngazwa umsindo ongajwayelekile. Ingabe lokhu kwakuzwakala umfula, lapho kwakungakaze kube khona umfula ngaphambili? Abagibeli bazongitshela ngenjabulo ngokutshala umfula omncane owawungamaminithi ambalwa nje.
Ngaya lapho, ngahlala emanzini amaningi, futhi nganelisekile ukuthatha izithombe. Angikholelwa ukuthi ngisehlane. Umzila wangikhumbuza izikhukhula nemifula yasenyakatho-ntshonalanga.
I-Waterfall

Kwakukhona izimoto ezimbalwa lapho futhi njengoba ngimisa izikebhe ezimabhokisini zami ze-Gore-Tex, ngabona imindeni nemibhangqwana ibuya ngemuva kokuhamba ngezinyawo. Ngabuza ukuthi babone imvula. Owesifazane osemncane e-"Life Good" t-shirt uthe ukuwa kwageleza kodwa akukwazi ukufika emanzini njengoba amanzi ejulile.
Ukunquma Kuhlehliswa Kuphela
Ngaleso sikhathi nginqume ukuthi ngizothola isithombe sami samanzi noma amanzi aphezulu. Njengoba ngilandela lo mzila, abanye abahamba ngezinyawo nami saqala ukukhuphuka phezu kwamatshe, kuqala ngakolunye uhlangothi lwamanzi agelezayo, bese kuthi ngakolunye uhlangothi. Sithole amatshe alula okuwasebenzisa njengamatshe ahambayo. Ngesinye isikhathi, njengoba ngisizwa ngaphezu kwesinye isakhiwo, abanye abagibeli babezimisele ukubuyela emuva. Ngangibona indawo lapho amanzi egeleza khona amanzi phezu komfula ogwadule, kodwa akakwazanga ukubona ukuwa kwangempela ngandlela-thile, ngendleleni ehambayo, egcwele amanzi e-canyon. Izingane ezimbalwa zingase zizwakale phambili, amazwi abo ajabule aphikisana nezindonga ze-canyon. Kwakungenzeka ukubona imvula yamanzi kodwa kwakudingeka ngikhethe phakathi kokukhwela noma ukuhamba. Umqondo ovamile wathatha. Ngibheke phansi ebhodini lami le-Gore-Tex futhi ngakhetha ukwenza i-wade.
I-Wading yangithatha emanzini ajulile futhi ajulile.
Ngikhamera esandleni, nginqume ukuthi sekuphuzile ukubuyela emuva. Ngangiseduze nokuwa. Amabhuzu ami agcwele amanzi apholile.
