Spenceville

We were happy for Clarence's triphumpant return from miserable rotator cuff surgery. His ability to lead hikes through new and unfamiliar areas such as Spenceville excited enough people that 18 of us showed up!!
Eighteen of us hiked over 7 miles in long-shadowed, sunny, crispy weather in open California savana out to a pond. Lunch was at cement (brrrrrrr) picnic tables by a pond. Conversation was lively as our trail alternated between single track and dirt roads.

P
Present were: Selma, Clarence, Frank, Jim, Jo, Grace, Tammy, Priscilla, Cyndi, Mary, Kim, Tiana, Karen, Barbara G., Marilyn N., Paula (came on a summer hike), Dorothea (old time hiker from before my time), and Elly.

Next week we are talking about Hidden Falls out of Auburn. There was also some talk of the American River but we were having a hard time thinking of a long enough hike (6-7.5 miles)that we hadn't done recently.
