Auburn American River Hike 2009
This is our second trip to the American River, northwest of San Francisco. This time we follow the well-worn path south to see what other random spot we can find. We come across a small waterfall shooting out of the hillside. Then we continue until we find the perfect spot, a small beach and quiet lagoon. On the other side of the rocks is deep water and a ledge to jump from. This was indeed an idyllic nudist day.

  A group dive off the rocks and now to dry off and climb over the rock crest where the warm sun invites us. Time to rest.

  Time for a rest and warming up in the sun. But we also brought a rubber dingy and thought we'd try it out.

Nomad's Notes

It had been a couple of years since our last trip to this area and I thought it might be good to revisit now. I decided to take this small group downstream as I knew from prior explorations that there were many possibilities there. I was primarily shooting video but also shot a few stills here and there. There are some beautiful moments with Cassidi, who passed away early 2015. We miss her deeply.
