    A pic-nic on the Merced river (just sharing some pics)

    Its about a twenty minute drive from my home to Briceburg where the Bear Creek meets the Merced river. I took my girls for a pic-nic and to get their feet wet. I am a hobbiest photographer and I took a few pics. I thought I would share with you alls.

    The pictures need visible fishing rods, otherwise perfect.


    It's already too hot to fish the Colorado. Bother.

    Thanks for sharing Mark. It looks like it was a perfect day. The setting is similar to the upper Clackamas river.

    Now then, about those fishing poles......................... Did you Photoshop those out?
    Measure twice, cut three times, start over. Repeat as necessary.

    Wait until the kids are old enough to drive you home. Unfortunately, it won't be too long. Time is such a [censored].

    Sigh. Thanks for making me miss California. At least I can get a decent selection of the zin (easier to import than the river).

    Cheers,

    Chris
    If you only took one trip to the hardware store, you didn't do it right.
