After we encountered the rattlesnake (see previous post) we decided that hiking close to Davis was a BAD idea… until Zack called on the same night suggesting we go hiking the following day in the same area. The Sunday hike, however, had no rattlesnakes at all. Just nice flowers and generally great California weather. It was just past Sacramento on the way to North Lake Tahoe. We ended up hiking down to the American river, sitting there and having our lunch, before hiking back up to the car.
