American Canyon Dayhike 2006

Dayhike with Rich and the County Hikers. Initially he planned a trip to Alamere Falls on Point Reyes Nat'l Seashore, but the onset of cool, rainy weather led to a shorter trip, closer to home. We hiked down American Canyon Creek to Poverty Bar, on the Middle Fork of the American River. It was a short but fun hike, as the weather cooperated nicely. The power and strength of the river was impressive; definitely not something to trifle with!

    Blackberries trying to invade. Hey, at least it's not poison oak! Our little beach area was full of ticks, which hopped on as you brushed grasses or shrubs.
    Panorama along the Middle Fork of the American River. Philadephia Bar, to the left, has backed up a calm area off the main stem of the river. Some folks thought about going in, but found the water to be ice cold. Poverty Bar is to the right, just out of view. The main channel is very swift and turbulent. You do not want to mess with this river. It will win every time.
