Hidden dam on Bear Creek Road

I’ve ridden this route a hundred times, but never realized there was a dam and waterfall here on Bear Creek Road. Rain is occasional here, so it’s usually dry. I’m usually going fast through the curve, watching the corners, and you have to peer way off to the right to see it. But this day, I was out a couple of days after winter rains, the dam was flowing, and I glimpsed it from the corner of my eye. I was riding with the infrared, and turned the bike around to go in for a closer look. Of course, this turned out to be the Bear Creek the road is named after, and I learned a lesson in paying attention.
