This is Oregon Creek. It feeds into the middle yuba river where their house is... It's a bit cooler but amazing. If you could just drop from the swing into the water you'd be looking at a small waterfall which you can actually swim under. About 3 people could swim under and stay back there... it's a cool little cove. The rocks are huge and white in this swimming hole... but the ones underwater are green and slimey. It's a great place to sun because the rocks are nice and flat! You can get ahold of the swing and swing around and drop into the water too because it's deep! Beautiful. I guess more up stream there is a bigger waterfall but it's hard to hike to so we did not go there.





This is looking up Oregon Creek. The water up there is just so clean and beautiful!






This was at Purdon. There were schools of fish swimming really close to the surface by the beach so I tried to take a picture. It was so sunny that it was hard to get a good shot with my camera. The bottom right shadow is the fish and if you focus for a while I think you can make it out. It sorta blends in with the water.






This is another shot at Purdon swimming hole. Purdon is actually the name of the road you take to get to it - I'm not sure if that's the official name of the state park area... it's amazing. We actually hiked up about 20 minutes along the water on this trail and ended up at this amazing swimming hole - i didn't bring my camera (maybe next time!). There was a huge rock that we jumped off of (well, Kaila, John and I did at least... Pam wasn't in the mood and Briana is too busy being a mermaid in the water). The rock was about 30 feet at it's highest point. I jumped off the shorter part (about 26 feet) because I was too scared. It didn't hurt too bad... I'd do it again :)






Another shot at Purdon.
