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.

Yorty Creek Low Water at Lake Sonoma

Another trip out to Yorty Creek at Lake Sonoma with Silo to get a better look at the low water situation. This area is 10 minutes from our home and we kayaked out here a lot, so it's sad and disheartening to see another of our outdoor playgrounds become a victim of drought and/or wildfires.

Abbotts Lagoon at Point Reyes

A nice early morning hike out to the Point Reyes coast via the Abbotts Lagoon Trail. Labor Day Weekend so we went early and had (more) coffee on the beach. Nice morning with fog and no wind. The salmon fleet was working the area right off shore.

I can see us going back to hike the secluded dunes and wetlands surrounding the lagoon as the fog lifts and the days turn sunny and mild later this month and into October.
