To reach Mossy Cave by car, you have to return to SR12 and make a right. After a couple of miles (I always forget to
clock it), you'll see a small turnout parking area on the right. The cave was about a half-mile or so to the left on the trail,
but our destination was to the right at the Y. On each visit to the park I stop to see if there is any water flowing down the
man-made irrigation ditch constructed by early settlers, which would indicate that the waterfall ahead would have a good
flow. Since the rains of last week washed out so much, according the news, I was hoping for the best. Ray & Matt stopped
often along the way, and I charged ahead like an excited scout hoping to find water for the troops. They were scattered
about the area by the time I returned with my disappointment dissipating. Matt, who seemed incapable of disappointment
in this place, went to see for himself, shooting what stopped him along the way.
By the time he came back, Ray & I were on one of the bridges planning a shot --a combinations of shots really. Photo 54
has 4 of me and 3 each of Ray & Matt blended together and named, Paparazzi on a Bridge. We walked back to the car,
and those guys were reluctant to leave the magic of the moment and continued trying to bring some of it with them on
their memory cards. The paparazzi missed Matt shooting the curve of Scenic Route 12 moments before we climbed back
in the car to drive back over it on our return to Zion.
