Our trip to Farwell Canyon with our Nature Explorers Group.  It was an amazing view and although only a KM to the top the hike was a bit intense.  :)  But at the top were the most amazing sand dunes!


 The view from the top.


 The river before we headed to the top.

Salmon Run Fieldtrip

We went on a great field trip to see the salmon spawning. It was a fun day, lots of salmon, a great walk and fun games.  Here are a few pics.

Hat Creek Ranch Fieldtrip.



 We went on a field trip to Hat Creek Ranch.  I had set up this field trip before we knew we were moving.  I passed it on to a friend because I thought we wouldn't be around to go.  We ended up being able to attend.  We were so excited!  So here are a few pictures to show the trip. :)
