From Amador City we took 49 to Tonzi Rd. To 124 then to twin cities rd. Then took Ione Michigan rd. To Meiss Rd. Which is where these pictures are from. Then on to Dillard rd. Hope that makes sense.

Perfectly. Tonzi was in my back yard in Sutter Creek.

Yesterday I braved thee most treacherous road known to man by myself…the old 105, in NC. I came in from the south, there was one incline past wiseman’s view that a smaller suv was struggling to get up, it was rutted pretty good, but it made it eventually. I love the views on the 105. Found me an open spot and took a little break.

From the 105 I went to Unaka Mountain Recreation Area in TN. Nice easy drive with some beautiful views. The viewpoints aren’t as prevalent as the 105 and “The Beauty Spot” was really busy. “Pleasant Garden” on the other hand was empty.

Nice work. Hope to get that direction soon. We were up in the John H. Kerr Dam area last year but I need more time in the lower forest.

Sorry for the grain but this is a Limpkin and very rare for Missouri. The river was very cold and very foggy. 6400 ISO. LMAO

A few pictures from a day trip last Sunday to Pleasant Valley Conservancy near Black Earth, WI.

This plant was the neatest part of the trip. It's Fire Pink, which is endangered in Wisconsin. This is the first time I've ever seen it.

Better pic of the Limpkin. This bird should be in Florida. But it's not. LOL

This isn’t where you took the other photos? If not, where were they taken? I absolutely love the otter photo.

Yeah sorry it was Lake Wappapello State Park in Missouri. River Otters are on the Eleven Point River Mark Twain National Forest in Missouri.
