A Hike to Oriflamme Falls

With great weather our weary band headed on a mission to find the falls at Oriflamme Valley. Even with four GPS it was not easy. Kadizzle and Rodger both managed to enter the waypoints in a manner that directed them six thousand miles away to somewhere in South America. After some adjustments the band drove down a questionable road. The road became more than questionable as it turned into a running stream. The time to abandon the pickup and hike was upon us. After hiking awhile an older couple caught up with the Kadizzlites. Luckily they knew the route to the falls. The trail was faint and hard to follow, but the end result was well worth it. After the falls we returned to a wonderful grove of cottonwood trees that had been a favorite encampment of the Indians. This was evident from the remanants of the grinding areas.
