It’s supposed to rain tomorrow. I wanted to get some more trail work done up in the forest before it does so I rode on up to this area to do some trail work.
Rest of the world doesn’t exist
I’d be working near the falls today so that’s all I could hear was the water falling and the rest of the world didn’t exist. I wanted to build up the rock crossing so it’s easier to cross here when it’s raining and the water is flowing more.
Dump trucks
I bought two buckets up to load with rocks and carry back to the crossing. I found out that I’d do better with a little less rock in each bucket. Two buckets, one for each hand. I had to walk down the trail about a hundred feet to gather the rocks and haul them back to were I was using them.
Rocks
I found these rocks just over the bank so I threw them up here and loaded up the buckets about half full and carried them to the crossing and unloaded them and each time I did that I needed a good break before doing it again.
Little walk
On one of my breaks I took a walk down this trail just to break up the routine.
I gathered some more rocks here on this trail and hauled them up to the falls.
Looks ok to me
I think I have enough rocks in this crossing now to cross when it’s flowing more.
A bit before dark I walked back up to my quad runner by this big green fern.
More rocks
On the way back down the hill I stopped and filled the buckets with rocks to add to this crossing.
I added the rocks and rearranged some of the rocks I already had there to improve this crossing.
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
