 Looking for a scenic place to stretch your legs, walk the dog or do a little fishing?  Head on over to Calaveras River Path and enjoy just that.  The Delta on the right and beautiful homes on the left, depending on which way your walking, make for a peaceful time were you can clear your head.

You can access the pathway at two points as shown by the arrows on the map.  However, the better way to enter is off March lane near Buckley cove.  There you can park on the street and go right through the gate.Make sure you check the times which the path is open as it changes throughout the year.  See the picture above to see the hours and have a good time!

This weekend is suppose to be a hot one.  Cool off at the Weber’s Point Water fountain.  I stopped by yesterday and it was full of kids running through the fountain beating the heat.  

The kid’s were having a blast!  Not only does it cool them off on these hot summer days, but they are interactive and can be some-what controlled.  Some parents looked to have been their a few hours as they made a day out of it.  Many had picnics and were enjoying the cool water themselves.

Head down to 221 North Center and cool off!
