Popular Trips in Folsom Lake State Recreation Area
After a three mile, two hour recon trip earlier today, Friday Feb 26, 2010, we started out on a memorable venture to log the prestigious "50 50 Club". The weather wasn't the best. There were times of heavy rain and also just a steady drizzle. The wind was a factor while in the kayak.
