Jeff having fun on his new Quad, Auburn, California
I was hoping to post a photo of snowfall in Auburn today. But, the temp needs to drop a couple of degrees or so, for the rain to turn into snow. It did snow on and off here yesterday, but not enough to stick. Right now, chain control is only about 5-miles away, so things could change any minute. We also hear that a couple more "low snow" storms are on their way.
Who knows? Maybe we will even be able to use the snowplow that came with Jeff's Quad to plow our driveway, during this series of storms! That's not likely, but if that need should ever present itself, we will be prepared.

Jeff trail riding his new Quad in rural Auburn, California
You might remember reading a few months ago about us selling "Blue Thunder," our Toyota Landcruiser after owning it for 25 years. Well, Jeff did better parting with it than I did, because he had another goal in mind. He wanted a Quad.
A couple weeks ago, we took it to an area near where we live for a photo shoot. We had scouted this area out a few times before the timing was right. I wanted to see dust flying behind him, which I wasn't going to get soon after a rainfall. I also wanted great backlighting and fall colors.
Waiting a couple of weeks until those elements all came together really paid off. We ended up with over a 100 keepers from this shoot. Although I'm not into the sport myself, I will have to say this was one of the most exciting photo shoots I've ever done!

Jeff and Jeff kayaking on Lake Clementine, Auburn, California.

Mara had checked out the swimming hole below the upper falls earlier in the day. She added that it was by far the best of the bunch to dip in. So later on, the 3 of us returned there for a little dipping and relaxation.

Now I know where the saying “Dog Tired†came from! Dolly was really living up to it. She had been hiking and boulder hopping for hours. When we returned to camp later in the day, she could hardly move. But, just like her Dad, Bill, she was a great sport!

Although this waterfall is drop dead gorgeous, it isn't the best for taking a dip. Getting in and out of it would be very difficult. But, it sure makes for a great photo op! Follow along as the adventure continues. I will lead you to the waterfalls with the best swimming pools.

This is the first waterfall in the series and one of the most impressive. Another shot of this waterfall can be seen here. It was taken last summer during my first trip here with my husband Jeff.
