Newlywed Bonding Part I


With the fishing season coming to an end and my 4-day weekend, Craig and I finally had some time to go have some fun...

I booked the Upper Russian River Cabin near Cooper's Landing, we dropped off our car at one end of the trail, then got a ride to the other so we could hike the whole river.
Do you like our pretend hiking for the pic? Excellent.




Super mellow trail, 9 miles through woods, alpine, streams etc...bear poop everywhere and massive tracks!






The fireweed was insane, summer is definitely almost over with it being over 6 ft tall!





We had some light showers to deal with but nothing major...







Easiest 9 miles ever! cutest little cabin, was built in 1951 there were some pics of it being made inside. Recently refurbished it was glorious.

Craig got to work making the fire and hooking up his little spinner rod to hopefully catch some Trout.
Coolest thing about the cabin-it comes with the use of a row boat!






No one for miles but us and lots of bears!

Holy CRAP!!! I almost threw up I was so nervous just watching the video!!

How did it end? Hopefully with neither of you being eaten!!

But it does look beautiful, and I LOVE the cabin. Super Cute!

Oh wow!! Was that a young bear? Very exciting! The poodles would have been going stark raving crazy... What a lovely thing to do and glad you had a great time!

Way to close to the bear for my liking! Gorgeous scenery!

EEKS too close for comfort in the bear zone, but a beautiful view! xoxo

It took me a while to see you had posted the video- duh! Amazing- glad Mr BearPaws didnt rush at y'all in the boat- that would've been ugly
Glad the three of you had such a wild adventure and what a cute cabin- and are those red mature salmon swimming by the boat ready to spawn..fish for dinner? Hmmmm
