Linna and I decided to get Macho out for some fresh air, so we decided to hike up Kamikaze Falls.  This will be the first big hike for Macho since he had his cast off and this will be my first hike since my knee specialist told me I needed a knee replacment two days ago. We got to the trailhead around noon and I was totally surprised by the amount of cars there were in the parking lot; five years ago, you would be lucky to see another car….even on a weekend. With a casual pace, we made it to the falls in 1 1/2 hours.  With the warm weather, the falls were raging with all the snow melt.
