- In 2002 I rented a car and drove from Amman, Jordan to Petra over the course of several days. One day I left Madaba on my way to Karak with Dhiban along the day; I picked up a police officer who was hitchhiking. This was fortunate, for not only was he good company, he helped me cross a very steep and massive canyon. I dropped him off near Karak.
- Wells Creek Falls (waterfallsnorthwest.com)
Wells Creek Falls is an exceptional example of the classic Plunge type waterfall, and is one of the more easily accessed waterfalls in the Mount Baker area. The falls jump off the lip of a dark volcanic cliff, hurtling 93 feet into a verdant amphitheater, from which the creek exits via a very scenic bubbling trough between cliffs before meandering down a much broader rocky streambed to join the flood plain of Bar Creek below. Because of Wells Creek’s size, it has been known to frequently swell to very considerable size in the late spring and early summer months, enveloping the whole basin around the falls in a thick cloud of mist.
