Last week some friends of mine and I went hiking to a secret waetrfall.  It is quite hard to get there so there are always few people.  On the day we went no one was there except us.  There is a little grass area near the falls and we could lay around, swim and have a great time.  We ate a little lunch and drank some beer and had a great day.
