Last visit to Gray Lodge NWR and Sacramento SWR

Dec 23-25 2013
After attending the Dec FreeWheelers outing and spending some time back in the Grass Valley area to attend to some annual health tests I returned to the central valley and visited Gray Lodge State Wildlife Refuge and Sacramento NWR. This may be my last trip to these places as I will return to MO in the Spring and most likely establish a permanent residence there. I have visited these refuges at least once a year for many years. I will miss these wild places.
