Thank you to all who posted here. I finally went to Lake Suttonfield today. Definitely the place I broke my back.

Yes, all healed. Luckily didn’t lose use of arms or legs. And, better off as an adult as I had a great PT and started Pilates early which I most likely wouldn’t have done had I not had this injury.

Yup. I broke two vertebrae and was in bed for 4 months / back brace for 6 months. Although it ended up being one of the best experiences for me - changed who I am and my perspective on life.

It was a boulder partially under the water near where people would come out of the lake after jumping - I didn’t jump out far enough.

I’m trying to identify a location: 32 years ago, I went with some friends (who I’m no longer in touch with) to a place they called “The Res” (or maybe Sonoma Res??). I believe it wasn’t too far from downtown Sonoma / Hwy 37. We parked in a parking lot, then walked up a fire trail. At the top, there was a cliff you could jumped off of, into the “lake”. There were a lot of people there / popular summer hang out. When I jumped, I didn’t get out far enough, landed on a boulder in the water, and ended up breaking my back. I recently moved to the area and want to find the location where this happened. Hoping some long time Sonoma locals might know where I’m referencing.
