The Duffel Bag

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.

* Russian River III - Asti to Geyserville

The Asti crossing finally went in, so we floated the great run from Asti to Geyseville on the 4th of July. Conditions were windless and hot so it made for a perfect outing.

We stopped along the way for a snack, swimming and some close encounters. ;)

Ocean Kayak Frenzy Sit-On-tops, perfect boat for this section.

Ha Ha. Busted!

This was the July full moon hike. We had originally planned a hike at Lake Sonoma to a great spot we had found last month, but we were both tired and honestly didn't feel like hiking there because it would have been about a 5 mile hike so, we again headed up the South Ridge route at Clover Spring to take in the July "Buck Moon" as it came up over beautiful Sonoma County.
