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.

Dry Creek Waterfall Paddle

Our annual paddle out to the Dry Creek Waterfall at Lake Sonoma.
 
Typically we do this in April before the creek warms and fills with algae. With the late Spring rain storms we had, the lake is plum full and the creek water was running COLD!

10+ miles round trip and this year we were able to paddle within about 200 feet of the falls, so there was not much creek hiking.

Tomales Point Hike

At Point Reyes National Seashore.
 
We hiked the Tomales Point Trail out to the point. Lots of wild flowers and wild life. It was also quite windy out towards the point, but that kept it cool.

About 10 miles total round trip.

Silo's Retirement Gift

Silo retires early next week, so we had a Four Wheel Pop-Up Camper installed on the new Chevy.

It's a Hawk Slide-in with a front dinette, queen bed, heater, AC unit on top, 2 wide solar panel, tracks for a roof rack, and lots of inside storage. We plan to continue camping off-grid and boon-docking, but this camper gives us the option to pull into an RV park and hook up to electricity and water when we feel like it.

Yes...we plan to be away a lot the next several months. Hike-Camp-Climb-Kayak-Fish!

 















 
 
Update: April 12 - We installed a rubber mat to protect and insulate the floor, and then a section of carpet runner for water/dirt/mud protection.
