The Pot of Gold has been found!

We went for the waterfall at Wadi Arbaeen for the 4th time! 

We had a really fun, supportive group. I think they may have doubted our claim that there was indeed a waterfall at the end of this hike, but they were good sports and kept coming and coming.

It was warm and not too breezy but I still get chilly just looking at that water. There's something much more fulfilling about getting in the water when it's baking outside! 

I was soooo glad Elijah was able to come. The boys always love having him along. He's a good addition no matter what we're doing. He has some pretty amazing parcour skills as well.  

Sometimes people are willing to do anything not to get wet again. Sometimes they just want the challenge of a good traverse.

And there it is, 3.5 hrs and 7.8 miles later, we came to a waterfall. Lest you think that 7.8 is the actual length, I leave you my screen shot.

This guy could've done the wadi twice. It's his favorite wadi and he loved every minute of it. I actually didn't see him that much. He and Samuel and the Wares moved a little faster than the rest of us. It worked out great.

We did it. It was actually quite a feat. We left with 12 people. 4 stopped at the 2nd of 3rd pool. Their parents were with them and they were done. The rest of us continued on. One member really struggled but we got her through. It was a team effort. 

This needs to be cropped, but it was a very lovely view of the sunset. That's the latest we've ever been getting out of a wadi. It was quite a long and strenuous day but it feels good to have accomplished that.
