"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

discovered a giant waterfall

Aw, wow, that's so cool. I love how the one guy was all, "Yeah, I've known about it, I just didn't tell you."

Maybe they'll discover a secret waterfall in Chaco Canyon, down the road from us.

Art Crawl!!!

Wouldn't that be cool?

I think that you should go looking for it and then only take SOME people in to see it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. Yeah, 'cause if there were one, they'd be pumping it dry faster than you could say, "Hey, cool."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's the sekrit waterfall-viewing cabal!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

A small group of cavers and the owners of the land managed to keep the Kartchner Caverns secret for a long number of years while they negotiated with the state to set it up as a special park & reserve -- this included taking the governor on a Sekrit Tour, which must have been fun. Having seen some of the cave rooms, I'm not at all surprised that he was impressed.

Ooh, I never knew that one of the perks of being a govenor is secret spelunking....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There's a waterfall in the canyon where Kat took me hiking a couple months back. It's not secret except for the bit where "Waterfall? LA?"

Pretty freaking cool, except mosquitoes.

Plei, I just read this post this morning, and you want to know the freaky thing? I painted my toenails last night. Really.

HA! Awesome. That's totally funny.

The Kartchner secret was awesome. I think my parents got to go see it, but I can't remember.

I can totally buy a secret waterfall. When I lived up in the mountains, we did a lot of off-trail exploring with some folk who'd been there and hiking around since the fifties and were always running across some formation or grotto that made them go huh.
