Our own private beach at Lake Clementine, Auburn, California
Jeff, Jeff and I paddled for about an hour, then we stopped off at this beautiful spot for lunch. The shoreline at the upper end of the lake is dotted with beaches like this.
The next time we paddle here will hopefully be this winter. We have wanted to do a winter paddle here to view wildlife for years, but when winter comes we are usually cross country skiing, snowshoeing or hiking.
Maybe it’s time to quit talking about it and “just do it!” I don’t think we will be hanging out at the beach, however!

Jeff and Jeff kayaking on Lake Clementine, Auburn, California.
As I mentioned in my previous post, the next stop on our August Road Trip was Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park. But, before I write about that mind blowing place, I wanted to share a little bit about what we have been shooting since that trip.
This photo was taken about 3 weeks ago at Lake Clementine, one of our favorite places to kayak and canoe. Soon, the upper end of the lake where we put in will be closing for the season and we wanted to do a fall paddle before that time comes.
The weather that day was perfect. It was in the mid to upper 80’s and we had the lake to ourselves as Jeff (in the yellow kayak) was describing in this photo.
By the way, I just learned that kayaking is the new activity of choice for “Baby Boomers.” That explains why we like it so much!
Note: The lower end of the lake is open year-round.

Peg Challender kayaking on Lake Clementine, Auburn, California
Peg and I had a great day of kayaking and photographing at Lake Clementine. This photo was shot on the way back to the car.
The light was going fast. We had to hustle to get back to the parking lot before sundown, or we would risk getting locked in for the night. [click to continue…]

Peg Challender relaxing on Lake Clementine, Auburn, California
In the post Pardon Our Dust I wrote a few days ago, I mentioned that we were in the midst of a huge project involving our Webite. At first glance, our Website looks the same as it did. But, if you go to our galleries, you will notice that our images are now on our own server, not PhotoShelter’s.
Had we known how time and labor intensive this project would be, we may have taken another route. But, now, we are nearly done and we are very happy with the results. We still have some massaging to do, before we can safely say we’re done. But, we should have that completed in a few more days.
We are looking forward to a little kayaking and hiking really soon!

Of all the off-road adventures we have taken in Blue Thunder, climbing the hill in this photo left the biggest impact. [click to continue…]
Silhouette of a couple canoeing on Blue Lake, Tahoe National Forest, California
There are several Blue Lakes in California. But, the one in the photo above has been a favorite of ours for many years. In fact, we have kept it a “secret” up until now. I won’t tell exactly how to get there, other than it’s the Blue Lake near Lake Spaulding, in the Tahoe National Forest.

Off-road adventure into Utica Reservoir, Alpine County, California
Blue Thunder has been a part of our family for 25 years. But, unfortunately, the time has come that we will be finding it a new home soon.

Group of kayaker’s preparing for take off, on the north fork of the American River, near Colfax and Weimar, California
This theme on paddling the north fork of the American River has been very popular, so I decided to post one more photo of it.Â
These guys are in an eddy, just below where the photo in my last post was taken.Â
Note: Please be sure to read my post, kayaking the north fork of the American River for more information on paddling the American River.
