Labor Day Stay-Cation

As Dave reminded me today, it's common to do a stay-cation rather than a vacation if the time and money do not allow.  Well, this weekend was busy, but we decided to take a day trip to the flumes and enjoy our one day stay-cation.

A locals secret, the flumes offer tons of fun. Parking at the hospital in Paradise leads to a trail head that takes you back to old logging flumes built in the 40's. A two mile hike on top of the flumes leads to a steep decent down into the Feather River into my favorite swimming hole of all time. The water was cold, but the day made for the perfect stay-cation.
