A Fall paddle at one of our favorite destinations. The weather was great and we saw a lot of wildlife. Large fish, eagles, hawks, pelicans, river otters, and blue heron.

* Two Paddles and a Peak - Butte Lake Paddle
At Lassen National Park. The water level is pretty low, so many of the little coves in the lava flow we have paddle before are high and dry.

* Lake Sonoma Hike II
Lake Sonoma LNU Lightning Complex Fire Photos
The South Lake Trail from Old Skagg Springs Road to Buck Pasture Campground and back. 6 miles total.
It's burned pretty bad here and the fire got down to the lake in several places. There are close to 10 down trees just in this section that require going over, through, or around. The fire appears to have moved fast, burning mostly grass and brush. Hopefully the area will recover fast...if we can get some rain.
This section is not passable for equestrians at this point.

100,000 views milestone. I've had this blogspot for about 10 years, and use it mainly as a way to keep track of where we have been, trip dates, to share our pictures, and somewhere to go in the evenings while sipping scotch to relive good times.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope something here has inspired you or helped you in some way over the years.
