Middle Fork of the American River, Auburn, CA

This photo was taken on the same day the waterfall photo was taken. We were hiking on the right side of the river on the Western States Trail in El Dorado County. Had we been hiking on the other side of the river, we would have been hiking in Placer County.

Happy 1 Year Anniversary!

by Sherri on January 18, 2008

I just realized that I started this Blog one year ago today! I have also noticed over the course of the year, that a lot of people read my first blog entry. I did the same thing, when I was doing my research, before starting my Blog. And I bet a lot of you out there that have Blogs did too!

This first post was also one of my favorites of the year, so I thought it would be fun to repost it today.

Enjoy!
