Walnut Creek

 

for the first time ever, we went boating in THE Walnut Creek. There's not much left of the creek in its natural state (mostly it's diverted in underground culverts), but we found a launching point. Since it is rainy season, there was still plenty of water. There was a pretty good current too. Three of our boats made it from the creek into the Contra Costa Canal. This drains into Suisun Bay. Suisun Bay, of course drains into the Pacific. Kind of neat to think of our paper boats making their way all the way to the ocean.
