Gina couragously volunteered to take over Little League pitch count duty and overall parenting duties for the couple of days I went to Chico with my friend Steve. We drove up early Monday morning to bike 10 miles up Bidwell park and then jump in the river (top picture). Afterwards we toured Sierra Nevada brewery. The next day we hiked another 10 miles through overgrown trails to Feather Falls to see the 6th tallest waterfalls in the US, one of the undiscovered hikes in the Sierra's (and then followed up with a chilly drip in the river…45 degrees, as shown on my hands, reversed). Unfortunately I must have also brushed up against a grove of poison oak as proven by the rash being nursed (not shown).
