###################
THE PLAN: NOT THE USUAL DEVIL'S PUNCHBOWL HIKE (the 1-mile loop everyone else does....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz or the Devil's Chair)
instead: WE'RE DOING 6 HOURS OF ROCKS, CAVES, ARCHES AND WATERFALL EXPLORATION. The hike route itself is not on the official trails or on any official maps.
Difficulty: MODERATE to DIFFICULT. BRING HIKING SHOES THAT YOU CAN GET WET!!!! (although when I do the falls I don't get wet.)
DISTANCE: only 3 miles or so, because climbing up and around rocks and waterfalls is slooowww
