From his map, Kelly notes that he is to turn north at this stream and follow a trail up another 2 kilometers. There is a small lake with a campsite beside it marked on the map. The trail next to the stream grows steep and rocky as the stream changes from broad and placid to faster and roiling. Ahead he hears a splashing roar, and then when he rounds a large rock on the trail sees a very small waterfall...only 2 meters or so high. The water is crashing down from it to the stream below. The trail leads next to it and then up to a level above his head. As Kelly tops the hill he sees a small lake spreading out before him. The lake is filled with light blue water and looks to be 200 to 300 meters across and just about that long. A curl of smoke comes up from beyond some trees next to the lake. It looks like another camper has found this site as well. Eris AKU GM
