Wynolt Brook Falls

Easter Sunday we decided to take a drive to Wynolt Brook Falls just outside of Mactaquac Provincial Park in NB.  When we first arived the falls were still pretty frozen over.  So Peter wanted to make sure we left with at least one picture of the falls flowing and proceeded to break away the ice, needless to say he went home soaked....lol   To actually get a picture from the bottom we had to climb down a step bank and that was not as easy as it sounds due to all the freezing rain we had just the day before.  Just to play it safe I slid down on my behind...lol   While walking back up the same bank that I just slid down I lost my footing and slid all the way back down backwards on my belly a bit scary at first .
