Heavy Rains and Moving the Trail Cams To New Spots

Monday January 22, 2024 Guerneville CA.

Washout

We had a real  hard rain last night for most of the night. That meant the creek came up a bit and this old bridge bulkhead I fixed last summer got washed out a bit. I just need to find the hole in the bottom and put some bigger rocks in it, eventually.

Trail cams

I have four trail cams setup around the forest. Today, I decided to move them all to new spots. I set the first one up on this tree on the left to watch this road that comes down into our old orchard.

I had to ride around a bit to pick the rest of the trail cams up but first I went up to have look at the waterfall. I parked the bike here and walked the short distance to the fall.

The fall was flowing pretty good. I checked it out and moved on to pickup another trail cam to move.

I stopped at this spot, the Guerneville overlook.

That’s the small town of Guerneville down there. The haze is just moisture in the air. There’s a river down there that you can’t see that floods a lot, but I don’t think it flooded yet this year.

I stopped at our small pond to pick up a camera on the big tree on the left.

I was going along this road, but ran into this downed tree that just fell over.

Exercise

I decided to do a bit of work on a trail to get some exercise. I spent a bit of time at the overlook before I got to work on the trail. I did get a couple showers from those dark clouds.

I walked out the trail to do a bit of work.

I quit before dark as I still had two more trail cams to put out, so walked back on the trail to the overlook, or break area.

Overlook

I made it to the break area or overlook for a break.

The sun was headed down behind the hills to the west.

On the way home, I stopped in two places to setup two more trail cams.

Nice day.
