Nice pix! it is so beautiful out there. I use to hike the Kern River. so many majestic places, so sad there are so many people. thanx for sharing!

 

[UncleVinnys]

Yeah, there and the American River - great this time of year, since they
are swollen and dynamic from all the rain.

If you can stand sappy sentimentalism, then watch a video I made -
river images are from about the middle to the end.

Hi Unclevinnys, my wife is from Grass Valley. In 2007 and 2008 we traveled all over Northern California. I see you are from Folsom, last stop on the lite (light) rail. I was staying at Watt and Manlove just a few stops down from Folsom. The only time I felt like a cowboy in the States was at Folsom and Old Sacramento.
I will post a few pics from our travels, I do not recall all the names of the places we visited, those that I remember I will name.

Angel ? or Bridal falls ?

I believe this was the salmon run at Oroville, you can see my hand in front of the fish.

Wow, Fantastic shots, there Peerless.
Hey, is that you panning in your pajamas too, ha, ha!??

Yeah, I believe that is Bridal Falls - I think it's right before the While Hall exit or Ice Road up on
Highway 50, before Kybers Pass. Looks like you really got out and enjoyed a lot of the sights.
Been here 5 years, and just now getting out to the back country. It's a real pleasure.

About 10 miles from Clipper Mills on the top of the mountain in the cloud deck.

Yeah thats me in my shorts, the locals thought I was crazy, I think they think that water is cold. They should give the water here a go.

Yep I went up the ice road, going to Tahoe ? It was 90 in the valley this day and about 5 up the mountain an hour away !!

State Capitol and grounds, I think one of the cars in the last shot could have been Arnies.
