ramblin: Plum Creek Photos

Friday, July 20, 2007

Evening sunshine on Plum Creek. Laura would have played right here in this place.

A view of the tableland Laura and Mary climbed with Pa.

On the tableland, this is what they would have seen.

Unknown said...: Hello! Thanks for sharing these photos. I'm planning a return trip to Plum Creek this summer to search for the Tableland, Wonderful House site, and swimming hole. Are you sure this is the Tableland? Laura wrote that you can see the swimming hole from it...; April 6, 2010 at 7:37 AM
Paula said...: I don't know for sure! I told my boys that because they wanted to get out of there, but I actually think it's further down and around the bend of the creek. It was impossible for us to go on down at that point, but I was itching to explore. Enjoy your return trip and if you find the elusive spot, come back and tell me about it!; April 12, 2011 at 7:45 PM

Unknown said...: Now I'm gonna try making it a link: Elusive spot.; April 13, 2011 at 8:36 AM
Paula said...: I saw that blog a while back and fell into it like the swimming hole. I so enjoyed the aerial views and wanted to drive right back out for my own bushwhacking experience. Thanks for sharing and for reminding me of a great site.; August 22, 2011 at 1:02 PM
