Where the spirit leads the feet will follow.
Down distant paths for unmapped miles.
Heads forget but hearts remember:
The art of living knows no bounds.

Cherry Creek Paddle & Hike

At Lake Sonoma in Sonoma County, CA. 
 
From the Yorty Creek Day Use Area, we paddled as far as we could up the Cherry Creek arm, then hiked another couple hundred feet up the shallow creek bed.
 
Why?  Because it's there

Cherry Creek Paddle & Hike

The early mornings continue to be sunny and warm, so I was back on lake Sonoma for a fun little adventure paddle.
 
From the Yorty Creek access, I paddled out to the main lake body, then up the Cherry Creek arm. I continued to the mouth of Cherry Creek, landed the kayak, and continued up the creek, using it as a water trail. I got pretty far, turned around and retraced my track back to the put-in. 

About 8.5 miles round trip.

Fall Yaking At The Ahj

Our annual Fall pilgrimage to Northeast California for leaf peeping, kayaking, and boat-in camping at Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park. With Jeff, Karen, Scott & Jen, David, Silo & Milo.

We had a near full moon for two nights, so got in a moonlight paddle and an evening sitting at waterside enjoying fun conversation and Lady Luna.
