DESCRIPTION:
Mr. Robert A. Gorham said If only Thoreau had it so good.. A great read for those who love Nature and its many wonderful gifts and for those who live in an around Lake Natoma and the Fish Hatchery. Ranger Winkelman puts together his thoughts and observations with drawings from his 'pal' that are memory rewarding for those of us who grew up swimming, playing, fishing and just observing the joys and wonder of this beautiful land. One can only wish others including Thoreau had it so good.A great buy for those interested in the history of Sacramento and Sacramento County.
Located at the foot of the historic Gold Rush town of Folsom, California, the several-mile-long reservoir serves as an afterbay for Folsom Lake. Author Dan Winkelman's wide-ranging nature observations, coupled with his intimate knowledge of the area's Gold Rush history, provide a glimpse into California's past--and present. A retired California State Park Ranger recounts through a series of Ranger Logs--short essays--his experiences with nature as he paddles his canoe throughout the changing seasons on Lake Natoma. The book is heavily illustrated with photos of nature, historic characters and more.
