October Begins with Family Wanderings and Natural Wonders

Sara put a bunch of really great photos up on her saragrant.blogspot.com of the trips we took together around Plumas County, but I see that I have a few different views and some times spent apart, so I'll add a few of my own camera-ings to the Memory Lane file we share.
