Kayaking on the North Fork of the American River, near Auburn, California.
We are really excited. We just licensed
this photo of the kayaker's for the cover of a Northern California Travel Guide. When we get our tearsheets (copies of the publication) from the publisher, we will scan the cover and post it here on the blog.

Morning paddle on Utica Reservoir, Alpine County, California.
Jeff and I have kayaked and canoed on a lot of beautiful lakes and reservoirs in Northern California. If I had to choose the top 5 best places we have ever paddled, Utica Reservoir would definitely be one of them!
5 reasons why it is in the top 5.
- The water is warm, clear and has a sandy bottom.
- There are many islands to paddle to and camp on.
- The water is calm most of the time.
- The scenery is beautiful in every direction.
- It's not too big or too small. It's the perfect paddle lake!
You can read more about
Utica Reservoir here.
I have many more images to share from our recent trip. I will be spacing them out a bit, as we are in the middle of some very BIG Website projects. For that reason, I will also be spending less time on Twitter and Facebook, until those projects are a little further along.

Man kayaking on Utica Reservoir, Alpine County, California.
This photo was captured as Jeff, Kim and I were heading for the Lily Pond that Jeff had discovered earlier that day. We were starting to get a little nervous, as thunder bumpers were rolling in. The last place we wanted to be during a storm is in a boat on the lake!
Fortunately, the threatening looking sky rolled out of there about as fast as it rolled in. We were happy little kayakers once again!

Couple and their dog kayaking on Utica Reservoir, Alpine County, California.
This is a very typical scene at Utica Reservoir. If you are into kayaking or canoeing and you have a dog or two, then Utica Reservoir is for YOU!
We fit right in here. We have a dog and we love to kayak and canoe. I've never seen so many people paddling with their dogs as I did here. It was really fun to witness!
More photos of our adventure to Utica Reservoir to come!

Horr Pond Camp, Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park, California.
If you are looking for solitude, look no further. This park gets less than 2,000 visitors annually.
Just be sure to
BYOB! No, I'm not talking about booze.
BYOB stands for "bring your own boat." That is the only way you will get to experience Ahjumawi.
I'd like to see this photo used on the cover of a Northern California kayaking or camping guidebook.
Note: Be sure to read my other posts on Ahjumawi. I've still got a couple more coming too!

Jeff & Cocoa (Dirt Road Dawg) heading out for an afternoon paddle, at Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park.
Poor Jeff. He usually has the dog in his kayak, because I usually have the camera in mine. The 2 don't mix, as you have probably figured out.
We paddled out to the first campsite to check it out. We got a late start and we had a dog with us, which slows us down. So, the first campsite was as far as we were gonna get that day. That was okay. It was a scouting trip after all!
We hung out there for 3-4 hours waiting for the light to get better for photography, before paddling back to the truck.
I will post a couple more photos from our adventure next week.

Jeff and Cocoa preparing for our kayak adventure, at Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park, California. Notice Mount Shasta on the left.
Most people have never heard of California's Northeastern most State Park,
Ahjumawi Lava Springs. IÂ hadn't heard of it either, until the name jumped out at me while reading over the California State Parks brochure.
