More pictures from the 24 hours I spent in beautiful Nevada City, CA, with my friend Josh Weil (author of The New Valley) and his girlfriend, Jen, who owns a really cool store called Kitkitdizzi on Broad Street. Swimming in the cool, clear Yuba River was divine.
Nevada City, CA. A town of beautiful Victorian houses, hiking trails, and swimming holes. I stayed with a writer friend here. We went for a swim in the Yuba River and the water was perfectly clear and cool.
