This past weekend I went up to Camptoniville, CA. It's just north of Lake Tahoe in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mt range. I found these pictures on-line to share with everyone a glimpse of what I got to see this weekend. There are supposedly mountain lions and rattle snakes out that way - but the only thing I saw was something that looked like a scorpian near the river. The house I stayed at is on the Middle Yuba River. There are loads of swimming holes along the river and it's about 5 miles from a very long lake that flows into a river. The water was so clean and clear! It was the most beautiful green-blue color. It reminded me of the sea when I was in Nice, France. Pretty much it is up in gold country where all of the mining took place during the gold rush. Lots of history up there. I can't imagine people living there year round though - they get the most snow out of anywhere in the country... even more than Buffalo NY! :) :P
These are both pictures of the Yuba river... this was pretty much at the bottom of the family's property. I spent a bit of time sitting near it.
Well only a few more days here and then I'm off on a plane to see Sean - I am getting so excited!!! The wedding will be SO much fun and to make it even better I get to see Sean so all will be great!!! :) 3 days... and counting!
