Bear Creek Bares
This creek runs through private land in the Santa Cruz hills. We started at a cabin and made our way down to the creek, first exploring south, then turning around and going north to a spot where we knew there was a small waterfall. Do you recognize the place?

Nomad's Notes

This outing happened in June 2014, a week after our 2nd Bodyfest event at Lupin Lodge. You may recognize this river location from the 2011 "Bodyfest Retreat" we had at Double Bear.
