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.

Dry Creek Waterfall Paddle

We try to paddle out to the Dry Creek falls on Lake Sonoma every April. This year the lake is full, so we made the paddle early. With the lake so full we were able to paddle right up to the "Shangri-La" area right below the waterfall (usually it's a half mile hike with the water level at normal).
 
About 11 miles round trip.

Kelly Road Paddle

Back on Lake Sonoma this morning taking advantage of the calm conditions and nice weather.
 
We paddled out Yorty Creek, crossed the main lake and explored what I call the West Kelly Road arm. From there we paddled down the lake a ways, then retuirning back to Kelly Road East, Yorty Creek, and the take out.

About 9.5 miles total. No hiking on this paddle.
