Wow, what a beautiful day it was on Saturday......so sunny and warm, very hard to believe it's January! Molly, Ross and I did an old standard........the "under-the bridge" hike. We were hiking along with about 50 other hikers, but a pleasant day was had by all! Before heading down into the canyon we fortified ourselves with some delicious sandwiches from Raleys , found a primo parking spot by the river and then heading up the trail. We actually got hot while hiking in the sun and the cool, damp, shady spots on the trail felt so good. It's a goodly little hike.....about 2 1/2 miles mostly up hill......however it's 2 1/2 miles mostly downhill on the way back!!! Molly and Ross were the best hiking partners.....they're so sweet together and we laughed coming and going.
We hiked up to the dam and found some rocks with a great view and there enjoyed our sandwiches. It was starting to get late...it is after all January with it's early sunsets.....so down we headed. About 1/2 mile before we got to the car I remembered to snap a photo......actually Molly did the camera work!.....hence the picture of Ross and the under side of the Foresthill bridge.......the tallest bridge in California.
Molly and Ross went to Placerville for dinner so Jim and I barbecued some steaks from Costco...........relaxing by the glow of the televised Kings game!
