South Fork Yuba River - 4/18/10

So, our tip acctually statrted about two weeks ago and we are finally getting around to writing about it now. The first stop on our trip was a beautiful day on the South Fork of the Yuba River, near where Elizabeth grew up. The water is snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada mountains, and is cold enough to make your legs numb in about 30 seconds. Luckily the air temperature was around 75 degrees and we spent around 4 hours hiking and lounging on the sun-heated rocks. Below is a video we shot, as well as some pictures I took.

Welcome

Hello,

Welcome to everyone who is interested enough in our travels (or well being) to have taken some time out of their busy day to check in on us. Our Blog is now officaly up.

Let us first say thank you to everyone for your generous support during our last month in California. It was amazing to see everyone for one last time before embarking on our travels. We really appreciated the all the meals, conversation, couches, and floors.

We are going to try and update this blog as often as possible, but please bear with any long gaps in activity as we are not sure that we will even have internet access in some of the places we may be staying. You can still email us at our personal email addresses if you would like to contact us directly.

Thanks you all again,
