A Walk on the American River, at Fair Oaks

Sacramento Bar is the area just West of the Sunrise Bridge in Fair Oaks, filled with acres and acres of rock cobble left over from gold mining that ended in the 60's. It's one of my favorite places to walk, right near my home in Fair Oaks. You're in the middle of town, yet within minutes, you are deep in nature. Join me as we stroll the American River at Sacramento Bar on a recent winter Saturday...



And just for the record, Lewis and Clark DID NOT raft this river... I just imagine that I'm back in time to when they COULD have.

  1. So, you're to blame for the no-alcohol policy on the river. Who knew?

  2. Nancy - it was a much wilder wedding celebration than I would have ever have imagined. Probably 15 or 20 rafts tied up together... and even though we had a number of former lifeguards in attendance, I wouldn't classify the running across the rafts at full speed a safe thing to do. But no drownings, no casualties, and 30 years later, we're still married, hanging with the same crazies and still in love! Must have been a good float after all!
