Dayhike with friends on the Quarry Trail along the Middle Fork of the American River, between Auburn and Cool. A frosty day with temps below freezing, but a good day nevertheless. We made a couple of side trips, which added to the enjoyment and showed us more of what this area has to offer. Thanks to Karen for organizing this fun hike! Here are some photos from the <a href="http://tiocampo.smugmug.com/gallery/997317" target="_blank">same hike in 2005 with Bonnie and Jean</a>.
