🌲🌲🌲 Thank you for another relaxing video at a beautiful destination. I grew up nearby. Portola State Park is in the Santa Cruz Mountains, but it is in San Mateo County, just to the north of Santa Cruz County.
Thank you for the Crayfish information. I was told that several of the water companies put them in Bay Area lakes and streams as a monitor species - if they flourished, the water wasn't too bad. I did not know that the were not native to this area.
