The weather began to warm up very nicely today… just as we were loading up our gear to start for home. I hear it’s supposed to be in the 80 degree range at Clear Lake next week. It will be perfect weather — for somebody else.
As I’ve mentioned before, back in January of this year a few large chunks of the bluffs came crashing down onto the American River Bike Trail near Negro Bar State Park. There have been a few more minor slides in the same area since then, and the word is that repairs may not even commence until sometime during the summer. […]
The theme of Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Winter — Water. You can take photos of anything that relates to the season of Winter or Water. Have fun with this challenge.

Spring flowers are popping out everywhere as the weather continues to warm up, so this week I thought I’d share an episode of California’s Gold in which Huell visits some incredibly beautiful and colorful spring flower blooms. Enjoy! One of Huell’s favorite things is when California blooms anew, bringing forth a striking display of flowers. Huell visits three places across the […]
