American Canyon Creek to Quarry Trailhead (ASRA)

On Sunday, February 20, I did an extended version of the planned hike from this TrailMix Meetup in the Auburn State Recreation Area.  There were only four of us on this hike, with Gary P. as the leader.  Gary was a nice guy and I look forward to hiking with him again.
Waterfalls.


When we came up to a creek too deep to cross and took an extended detour that turned an 11 miler into a 14 miler.  A great trip on a beautiful day around lots of flowing water.
