* 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.

October 16, 2020...a crazy year!

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.

Get out and enjoy your surroundings while pursuing what interests you. The Art of Living Knows No Bounds!

* National Public Lands Day and Playa Camping

We spent National Public Lands Day 2020 volunteering with Friends of the Nevada Wilderness, and Friends of the Black Rock/High Rock Desert, working at the Mormon Dan entrance to the Black Rock playa building fencing to protect natural sand dunes from illegal entrance and eliminating illegal entrance tire tracks in the area.

The day before we goofed around on the playa (it was our first time there), and camped at the playa edge that night.

Overall an amazing trip to the Black Rock Desert.
