Hidden Wonders!

Bonney Lake's 7 Wonders of the World! Exploration and wonderment of our own back yard!

I woke up early and feeling good on Monday.  It was Labor Day and the day after my 34th birthday and a goal to be a healthier me had began.  I normally ride my road bike through my neighborhood and around all the new construction and occasionally over to the Target area but stay on surface streets.  Yesterday I decided to gear up and take out my mountain bike.  

The mountain bike never rides as smooth as the road bike, but the scenery is incomparable.  I'd heard about a waterfall near my house.  From the road I was able to see a small fall, about 6-8 feet and was never impressed enough to explore.  

Yesterday as I'm trucking up Rhodes Lake road, I pass the spot that I've seen the small falls and I see a bike trail.  On my way back down Rhodes Lake, I decided to turn off and explore the trail.  To my surprise it was one of the most beautiful sights I've seen!  There was the small falls that was visible from the road, then there was a small babbling creek with some beautiful white waters then just beyond that, a breathtaking 70' water fall that was crashing down to the small river at the bottom of this cravat. It was slightly dangerous to get to the edge because there were no safety catches that would stop you, just a straight fall to the river below.  

I haven't lived in Bonney Lake for too long, I had my house built in February, but that single sight made it the best place I've ever lived!  Do any other readers have any other hidden wonders that may be explored?

This is not the first time or the first person Quinn tried to hurt. I think she has a bitter andRead More evil heart. Instead of building and supporting the city, she prefers to tear down anything good and honorable. I'm so glad the voters saw fit to pass her by when she ran for election! With her attitude, it would have been detrimental to having a nice city to live in! Stuff a sock in it, Quinn!

Quinn you poor bitter old hag. I feel sorry for you.

I will never forget you David. We were connected through a tragic event that at times just feelsRead More like yesterday, and then you were taken from this earth by another tragic event. The 28 years inbetween went to fast. You were humble and down to earth. I feel as though you were surprised at how many people you touched in your 41 years. It was evidence at your service that you are loved by many, and you will never be forgotten.
