Today was quite a lazy day. The only real activity came in the form of a walk through the forest to see some old flumes; wooden structure built by loggers to float the logs down to the river, and on to the lumber yard (I guess that's where the idea of theme park log flumes arrived from). It was probably quite impressive in its day, the flumes ran for up to 11 miles and the logs ran down them at over 40mph (you wouldn't want to get in the way of one of those), but now there's not much left to see except some rotting wood. The walk was pleasant though, and we got to see yet another waterfall, or series of small waterfalls as it should probably be described.
There was however one small problem... Mosquitos. Every time you looked down there would be another 'mozzie' attempting to attach itself to you so stopping, particularly near water, became rather perilous. Inevitable a few succeeded and somehow Amy came off worst. By the evening she had at least 10 clearly visible bites while I got away with just three.
The rest of the day was spent lazing around and we had a quiet dinner at the house before retiring early in preparation for getting back on the road tomorrow.
