Wow! What a gorgeous area! And the paddle down stream was delightful! What a magical area with the otters and the beautiful serpentine/basalt mashup! It's so strange to see one side of the river all serpentine and the other basalt! It's like two different worlds! What an amazing way to take a break in your day! Thanks Nate! Love to the family too❤!
it is fun geology must literally be a fault line on a contact zone. they say the whole area was flows that the river and creeks have eroded into this terrain, also very close 15 miles , from nor cal's most active and " dangerous " volcanic fields , of Cobb mt. . so lots of hydro thermal activity, conical push up peaks and most that isn't basalt is serpentine, with Franciscan sand stone under it all , but here, basalt and serpentine collide . thanks for coming with ! : )
Hi Nate. Really enjoyed your adventure down the water. Boy that was a wonderful spot full of Serpentine and large asper's that you folks ended up at. "Quest On!"
this is where credence was singing about. just upstream from my little orchard, a little ways past the old ghost town where I found a gold coin once , and ..where the rope swings still hangs and the bull frogs still sing. long years since a day like this occurred. thanks for coming along . : )
I live very remote and then this is down dirt roads with old gates, outside of a town so small they don't have a population sign, never have to worry about crowds, commute is a little insane but it was a great place to raise the kids. thanks for wandering along ! : )
Nice to see all that water still flowing. I miss it out that way. Haven't been able to make it out that way in months now. Hopefully one of these days.thank you
Hi nate is that is my favorite little creek to hike down( hatup) creek ? I usually start and hike down towards the lake from way north did a week with my bro out there good times
