“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.” ~ Mark Twain
I am moving to Portland. My dream home will be in this beautiful parish. Every time I think I am finished exploring this hidden gem, another location pops up, and I am tempted to visit.
My first trip to reach falls was with Rosheena, the person I started exploring this beautiful island with.
I created so many memories on this trip that will last a lifetime. On May 6, 2017. We went searching for Reach Fall.
Researching Reach Fall and asking for directions, we were told that St Thomas had terrible roads, so it was best to take the Junction route, which was a big mistake.
It took us forever to get to our destination. When we finally reached, all we could talk about was the was how long the journey was. It was like traveling for days.
We tried to make the best of the time we had left, then the rain started to fall. I was like, whatever. I am not coming this far and not have fun.
All I was thinking about was my next visit. How amazing it was going to be.
I must say, I made the best of the situation. I climb the fall, went down the rabbit hole and played around in the crystal blue water.
I kept repeating; everything happens for a reason. Stop complaining. My mission was accomplished. Maybe not in the way I planned but the result was the same.
Here are some fantastic facts about Reach Falls. Have fun!
