I do have a certain weakness for before-and-after photos, but most of the time when I’m hiking around I don’t purposely try to create them. I’ll admit though that when I returned to Sweetwater Creek with the Big Guy in late October I was curious to see how a couple of driftwood shelters I remembered from four years earlier had […]
Standing atop the hill some half mile from the Falcon Crest parking area, I can look down toward Folsom Lake and see another path (Brown’s Ravine Trail) that meanders through a stand of pine trees. I’ve visited this spot several times over the past few years and it remains one of my favorite viewpoints; with impressive ridges rising 1200ft/365m both […]
