Cali whitewater

Satan's Cesspool reminds me of Julie's Juicer on the Gauley.  And yes the Shredder is buried under the pile!  With my newest river-husband Millard Blakey

Dear Friends Revisited

Spent a weekend with my dear friends Jason, Michelle and Sebi.  Michelle and I went for a little hike on Saturday.  We were having such deep discussions that I got only one picture.  And it was of this banana slug.  Ugh!





On Sunday, we headed down to Santa Cruz for some quality beach time.

Cutie-patooties - Jason and Sebi

A self described "Crazy French Woman" educated us about the joys of searching for sea glass
Sea glass is our discarded glass that ends up in the ocean.  Wave action grinds the glass down to these beautiful bits.  Picking up trash is actually fun in this circumstance.  The small gray-green rock in the upper right corner is jade - a gift from a fellow beachcomber.
Note to self:  Never turn your back on the sea and always wear appropriate clothing!
