Mike picked up a new hiking companion - Jackie >
We didn't find his name today. Maybe another day (with better shoes!)
Reminiscing of his childhood days here. He Yes, he's climbing in his socks! He remembered this exact rock with the grind stones visited this bridge many times as a teenager.
Someone was nice enough to install a floating outhouse. We were glad we didn't
have to go.The water was kind of cold for a swim today.
Nothing stops Mike when he's on a mission!
3/10/10 Walked today about 6 miles still getting over a chest cold so took it easy. I meet up with Jackie my new logistics/hiking helper.
She has extensive experience in hiking has hiked to over 100 different peeks in California. we started at the fish hatchery on hazel and walked to Downtown Folsom it was nice weather and lots of birds flying with white puffy clouds set against a blue clear morning sky.
We stopped and looked at Indian grinding stones along the river then we hiked onto the bottom part of rainbow bridge.
I had signed my name all over it in the early seventies, as I was raised not far from there in Granite Bay. Another dry day for finding money. Must be the spandex that they wear on the American River bike trail, no pockets.
