62.09 Winters: Berryessa at its best: A Quick but satisfying view of a great favorite: Standing upon Annie's Rock.

An extract comprising only a few photographs from one of three hikes undertaken at the mountains on this side of Berryessa Lake, Annie's Rock. We'd like to share these with anyone interested, for, we believe this region is nothing short of spectacular. It provides tough hikes, beautiful and varied scenery and incredible opportunities to explore, while absorbing the foregoing. I don't think we have seen and taken better photographs than these; then again, often wrong. 

  Because I'm occasionally allowed poetic (non) licence, although I do feel convinced of this sentiment in respect of what we have observed at Berryessa, I do have a rather nasty side deriving some pleasure in 'winding up' Jenni and our son, Gavin. (In fact, keep this quiet if you will. I know they see right through me but they're very tolerant.😉)

  Full blogs follow later.  

One of us is mesmerized by the sight and position while grateful for the effect.
The final mile, all elevation gain, to Annie's Rock was 'bush tight', less delight.

The road below commences a journey over the mountain, Highway 128. The Putah River flows from the dam wall and under the road. The mountain slope, commencing at mid-part of road in view, is the 'closed route' to Pleasant Ridge, the top reached 3 days before.
Jen reaches the highpoint at Annie's Rock.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
