Eticuera Creek Day Use Area, May 2023

Our cold gray January weather isn’t exactly motivating me to get outdoors and start moving; I’m already longing for warmer weather. But for some reason this morning I started thinking back to early last May and the week we spent in Napa County, west of Lake Berryessa. We were almost exactly equidistant from Clear Lake and Berryessa. I found the small house we stayed in quite comfortable, but the Big Guy didn’t really care for all the barn cats hanging around outside, so we likely won’t make it back there for another visit. The weather was wet and unpredictable too — but the important thing was that we got away from our regular routine and had some very pretty scenery all around us.
