We took the Woody Trail along the river over the longer Railroad Grade trail as it is shorter and prettier. 

At the Lower Falls there is a covered shelter giving us a brief respite from the rain. 

Some of our group didn't go futher while a few of us continued to the top. 

At the Upper Falls we had a brief snack and then started down.  About this time the rain started to taper off, though with the drippy trees it didn't make too much difference to us. 

We returned to the Lower Falls and the covered shelter for a quick lunch.  We had been warm hiking, but as we stopped to eat, it got chilly so we didn't tarry. 

By the time we got to the trailhead the rain had moved on.  It was still cloudy but the sun was trying to break out.  It seems we picked the wettest time of the week for our hike this time.
