A long view

A little over a week ago, I posted photos of a few people ignoring the trail closure signs following damage to the bike trail near Negro Bar.  I’ve since learned from the great people at Friends of Lakes Folsom and Natoma (FOLFAN) that the slide area isn’t likely to be repaired right away.

Good and Bad

The theme for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Good and Bad. Good and bad is a matter of opinion most of the time.  In old Western (US) the good guy always wore a white hat where the bad guy wore a black hat.  Show us what is good and bad in your eyes. First, here are two photos […]
