All that snow has to go somewhere! Great pix. Must be a treat to share a day like that with the old man, you lucky benae.

Man, I could sit next to a raging river like that just soaking it up all day long.

That's awesome. Yesterday I went on a ride- one thing I noticed is how little weekday traffic there is compared to weekends. Perhaps not as cool as out west, but, I had it all to myself (other than the damn dog that bit me)- but otherwise- cool day. If I could have taken my dad, even better!

edit- one part that pictures don't do justice to is the sound and coolness of the water. My ride was a constant rush of fresh mountain streams.

never have seen this spillway rage like this. it is hydro electric generating too. the fishing on the river below is so good the hooks must be barbless.

i can't catch fish with a barb on my hooks!!!

Beautiful! How’s the pine tree pollen in your area. Here it’s unbelievable. It’s like snow only yellow.

Cool pics, Juan. California sure is a beautiful state in its natural environment.

Regarding the melting snow...Utah's getting blasted currently, and they're estimating 80%+ snow is still on the mountains. Gonna be a wild spring/summer for my in-laws.

I'm sure you could make a recording of the sound that makes and sell it as a relaxation tape. 30 minutes of that would have me in a deep coma I'm sure.
Thanks for the pics.
