Even with what seemed like half the city of Auburn crawling all over the rocks, steps and trails, the waterfalls were worth the hike.
My house, and a couple of others which had the original creek bed in the back yards, see this surging drain water seek the lowest elevation through side yards to the original Linda Creek.
The Granite Bay farmer’s market will never be one of the “must see” destinations that gets written up in Sunset magazine. For the locals it has become an important part the Sunday routine while we are out and about traveling down Douglas Blvd.
