Parked at the bottom of the falls and made our way up, taking photographs of the beautiful falls as we went.

Got to the top and saw a couple who had climbed the rocks to the top pool so decided it was safe enough for us to attempt. After jumping over a few rocks we were at the top pool where it was a little slippy but easy enough to get a foothold - got some great photos but these will have to be added later.

We then made our way down, and up the 172 steps to the cache. When we neared the ridge, we saw the other couple sitting and did our best to employ stealth. I headed down in front of the ridge with my GPSr whilst Mrs Fitz waited at the top. Since the lurkers couldn't see me I discovered the cache quickly - nice camo - and retrieved.

I then passed it up to Mrs Fitz, and as we were signing the log the bloke lurker walked over and looked down at me and asked "Have you done any other geocaches in the area?".

They were geocachers of course. Matt and Sheila (sorry can't remember your caching name), newly-weds who had signed the cache just before us! We exchanged stories then decided to head up and do the 360 cache together. Which is a whole other DNF story....

TFTC!
