Ride
I thought I’d take a ride up to another hill top where I played a lot with this guy that lived here when I was a kid. We rode our little scooters all over the hills in this area, a time when there weren’t many gates.
I made it up here and had a nice visit with his son although I had to wake him up from his nap and his four dogs barked by didn’t bike me.
Then I rode on over to this place which was vacant when I was a kid. It had an old orange tree that we stole oranges from when they were ripe.
Dave the guy there is building this new house as he lost his during the last forest fire in 2020 which was unfortunate.
After that visit, I rode on out the road there that went on up the ridge.
Along this road.
I continued on up the road exploring.
A view down from there. I live out there somewhere in a valley.
I went to the end of the road as I wanted to see it was it open to the state park. It had some trees across it and a lot of wild sweet peas.
On the way back I looked down into this valley where the city of Healdsburg is.
I wanted to see the old orchard of my old friend so I went down this paved road and was surprised to run into these guys working on Sunday. They were cutting back trees and brush on the road side for fire protection.
His old orchard wasn’t being taken care of but this one tree had lots of apricots on it which were almost ripe. I think my neighbor would like them to make some jam. The birds will get them if she doesn’t. I’ll have to check on that.
I headed on home from there going by this old shut down quick silver mine.
I went on home then I went back up into the hills to talk with the goat lady that I’m going to do some work for rerouting this spring area.
And fixing up this turn in her driveway so a fire truck can get down to her house.
This little goat adopted me.
Nice day.
