There’s a little campground on the Parker Strip and it has our name on it. The smell of rotting vegetation is nothing compared to a cool breeze coming off the river.

02 February 2009: And here we are post-convention, heading up to Folsom Lake SRA (this is where you cross the Sacramento River). We stayed there the night after Oroville, and then came back to stay a couple of nights. This allowed us to pick up a Datastorm antenna for our patience.

This cycle path goes on for miles and miles along the levees and banks of the American River. I was surprised to see how far — we were actually at some of these places before we went down to the Unconvention. I don’t think I could cycle five miles, at this time in my life. [...]

Here’s one final picture of the beautiful Trinity River. I hope you enjoyed the photos from our trip to Lewiston Fish Hatchery. If you wanted to see them all together, here’s a link to do just that. :) You can see the old fishery workings a little more clearly in this picture.

And, since we’re here, this is a gratuitous photograph of the other direction. Isn’t it pretty?

As you get closer to the turn-off, you can see the old fishery works, a few buttresses and intriguing-looking old buildings. The current, state of the art facility was built later. The trees were all starting to turn gorgeous colors.

You got a pretty good view of the river from up there.

Then, after a little while, it popped back out at the river.
