THE MOKELUMNE RIVER

It is one of the best-kept secrets in Amador County. Off of Highway 49 on Electra Road just south of Jackson--that's my favorite part. I drive there, park my car and either run, walk, or drive to a special place where I can reflect upon the beauty of God's handiwork and consider the work before me for the day.

Today I didn't take any work and simply drove with my son, daughter-in-law and grandson, JJ, to a special spot where we could see the river and, in a "fit" of courage, experience its icy-cold refreshment.

It's what I needed today, after a heated two weeks of activity and responsibility.

I love the Mokelumne River. Now that I have told you about it, it's no longer the county's "best-kept secret".
