Our first stop on our first day trip was at
Folsom Lake
It is pretty there and tons of huge homes
already built and more being built
Just a quick stop, then on our way.
Left the tripod in the car.
This was out of the norm for me,
but the restroom in the restaurant
that we ate at had the most beautiful decor
Lunch was fantastic at
Sir Vesa's
Mexican Grill in El Dorado Hills
What a beautiful drive up Hwy 50
A young couple was taking photos and
I offered to take photos of them with
their camera and they returned the favor.
BRIDAL FALLS
Bridal Falls
Highway 50, El Dorado County
Snow on the mountains and clouds in the sky
People actually went skiing on July 4
What a beautiful drive
We tried to get to Bassi Falls in El Dorado County
but our car would not make it over the
last huge hump in the road
so we stopped on our way out
and enjoyed Big Silver Lake
Big Silver Creek
Big Silver Creek
American River Creek
happened to catch this creek as we started heading home
What a beautiful drive home
The end of our first day trip - 7/6/2011
The following day we headed out once again.
We drove into Grass Valley to get directions
to where we were headed in Colfax
to find the waterfall we were looking for
and saw this interesting painting
on this building
We drove to Colfax and asked
and searched for the waterfall,
but we could only find Bear Creek
which was not to much to see,
but a nice end to our waterfall ventures
for this vacation.
