Los Vaqueros Watershed - Contra Costa County, CA

On January 26th, 2020, I went to Morgan Territory Regional Preserve for a hike through the preserve along with Los Vaqueros Watershed. I parked at Morgan Territory Road Staging Area. I'm telling you that so you can get a general idea of where I was in the preserve as it is huge.

Clifton Court Forebay - Byron, CA

On May 27, 2016, I went cherry picking out in Brentwood, CA and pass by Clifton Court Forebay in Byron, CA afterwards to take some photos. I am here to share with you the photos I took today.

As for why I am only posting these photos now, if you have watched my June vlog, you would know I got my wisdom teeth pulled and I had a pretty busy month, so I didn't have a lot of time to process my photos. I am finally done though, so I can finally share them with you guys.
