When Best in spring when wildflowers are in bloom.
What Take a drive out old Cherokee Rd to the mesa named Table Mountain. From the valley it really looks like a table. It looks like it could have been a mountain that Paul Bunyan cut down at the trunk with his chainsaw. Take a picnic lunch and a kite. Or just take a scenic drive and enjoy the beauty of Northern California.
What Every year, on the first of January, the truly brave among us emerge to test mind and body by swimming from one end of One Mile to the other. Last year was my first time and I thought it was awesome. The air was about 50 degrees and it started to rain a little while we waited. A huge crowd of swimmers started to gather at around 1:00 PM, many of whom had just woken up after their New Year's even celebrations. On the other side of the river someone set up a digital count-down to 1:30 PM, when we would all dive in. Many family and friends waited on the other side with towels and warm food. When the time came to go my heart was racing. Would I be paralyzed from the cold? Would I get kicked in the head by some panicked swimmer? I dove in and swam to the other side like a race seal. I was made to do this. You can see me in this video below. At 5 seconds in I am the tall guy with the beard on the left hand side of the screen.
