Teresa at Jenkinson Lake

Over the years, Teresa and I have lived in a number of places.  For one year, we rented a home in Pollock Pines, just up the road from Placerville in the heart of California’s historic mining region in the Sierra, not more then ten mile from where gold was first discovered at Sutter’s Mill.

About one mile from our home is Sly Park – a camping area – and in the heart of it is Jenkinson Lake, which is a good sized body of water surrounded by dense forest on all sides.

After having become familiar with the path that circumferenced the lake, we spent many happy hours exploring the deep woods off trail, in this case following a cascading stream through the lush green vegetation the grew up all along it.
