The Duffel Bag: Sacramento Valley

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.

A Morning At Gray Lodge

The Gray Lodge Wildlife Area near Gridley, CA in the Sacramento Valley region.

Never been, wanted to go, so we went. We arrived before sunrise and took the 3 mile auto tour route so we could catch sun-up. Another amazing California wildlife refuge! We also did the 2 mile walking tour (Flyway Trail) later in the morning. Both routes are exceptional and worth the trip there. These photos are a combination of the two routes and some could be out of order.

See the Gray Lodge website link below for more specifics on the refuge and for visitor information.
