Barbara and I settled in at Coloma eight days ago and we have been so busy, I have not been able to get out and do any hiking in the area. After yesterdays football game the plan today was to just sit and relax for the day. That didn’t happen. I got up this morning and took one of our propane tanks to get filled. After that it seemed like every time I turned around one of our neighbors was stopping by to talk. Then our next door neighbor asked me if I could explain to him how things worked on his trailer. Him and his wife recently bought a used Reflection, fifth wheel trailer, and didn’t understand the owners manual that came with it. So I went through their trailer with them answering all of their questions. This made them very happy. By the time I was finished with them, it was after 2:00pm so I decided I wasn’t going to get to relax today, so I took off on a hike around Coloma. It wasn’t a long hike, just three miles, but I was able to get a few decent photos of the American river and the trees changing colors. Take a look!
