River Dippers Gathering 2008
A hike down into a redwood forest valley brought us to the San Lorenzo River. A bend in the stream has left a nice beach with calm wading water. Upstream the water is more lively and we lie across the rocks and let the cool current flow over us. As the sun began to set we got ready for the show - fire spinning poi performances! The movie of this outing is available on our streaming website.

The river reveals a side that is tranquil and a side that is turbulant. The water at both spots are cold however.

Nomad's Notes
A 40-minute HD movie is available that covers this event on our new Nclub Movies Website. The funny thing about this day was that it was not supposed to happen at all the way you see it here. Our group met in Davenport, California, a tiny village on coastal highway 1, to have lunch. The plan was to go down to Shark's Tooth Beach and spend the day and early evening in this spectacular cove. I had invited people to bring drums and musical instruments so that they could jam while several different fire-spinners doing their thing. However, it was very cold down by the water, much too cold for clothes-free fun and it would only get colder as the sun set. A quick change of plans and the caravan of cars took a 20-minute drive to an inland location bringing us to the place you see here. I had previously scouted the Rincon Trail so knew it would be viable. When we got down to the river there was a clothed family there so we delayed getting naked until after they were gone - that is why there are some photos of us partially undressed along the river. Having to change plans was disorienting so I just told people to get into the river and "play" - and the photographers just shot whatever they saw happening. Some people started "posing" because that is what is culturally ingrained as what one should do when naked in nature being photographed. The location did turn out to be a good safe spot to do a fire performance because of the open beach and proximity to the water.
