It's Spring Break 2010, at long last, and we went for a hard-earned hike over to Smittle Creek again, over by Lake Berryessa. I hadn't been there at this time of year, and it was good to see the lake full, the flowers in bloom, and the eagles in flight.
Weather was stunning--mid-60's, bright sunshine, little wind. All around a great hike.

Stats:
Hike: 6.5 miles
Time: lots of looking around, exploring animal tracks, and bird-watching. Not a fast hike, therefore, but definitely a restorative one.
