Along the MN shore and in Canada there are alot of rivers and waterfalls. My wife and I checked out alot of them although I don't remember any names right now. At one location the water had cut a very narrow gorge through the rock. Looking down in it was full of many drops, swirling pools of white foam etc. Some buzzed up kids were riding through it sort of like a giant water slide and others were jumping into those foamy pools from quite high. We didn't do any jumping but we did take the ride through the gorge. Great fun, I'd like to do it again. When we went around the idea was to camp. Most of the first trip we could see/smell smoke from large forest fires. It was extremely dry and campfires were prohibited for most of our trip. Still had a lot of fun.I did it about the same time. Maybe 1977 or 78. I was by myself. One memory was I got hit hard on the side of the head by a bug. I stopped and had lunch. When I put my helmet back on I got stung on top of my head. That bug was a bee. Damn that is a bad place to get stung.
Do you happen to remember a small sign saying waterfall with an arrow? I went up the short road and there was this nice waterfall.
No big deal was made of it. In the states it would have been a park or something.
I hear ya on the old part.
