We're back to one of our favorite spots on the San Lorenzo River north of Santa Cruz, California. Trek down the path into the valley and follow the old railway tracks and then find the secret path!

I never know exactly how a day will turn out, who will drop out or who might be added last minute. Two other photographers could not make it so Kris and I had to do all the shooting. One of the participants turned out to be somewhat disabled, which slowed everything down - I'm happy to accommodate people, but it's good to know in advance as this is a bit of challenging location to get to and I could have invited her to a different day. The water level was higher than in the past so mobility was limited for everyone - people tended to find a spot on a rock and just sit there unless coaxed. But still... it was pleasant enough and everyone had a decent time.
