Descending from the Geyser hills to Clearlake State Park is a heart stopping continuous downhill ride, through a landscape of grapevines and the tiny town of Kelseyville, to the State Park at the shore of Clear Lake, the largest natural lake entirely

Little holiday walk in a sunshine 🌦️ break of the weeklong atmospheric river 🌧️ around the hidden lake in which the Guru later known as Adi Da Samraj enjoyed to swim with his devotees after they bought the former Seigler Hot Springs Resort in 1974. He created more centers incl Hawaii and moved his HQ to a Fiji Island in 1983 that a devotee bought for the church, but the original ashram is still in use here.
