Heavy Rains and the Road Holds Up Fairly Well

Tuesday February 4, 2025 Guerneville CA.

Rainy day

It was raining hard when I got it going today. I hung around the house but around three, I put on my rain gear and rode my dirt bike up through the park to check on the old dirt road I’ve been working on.

Some water was running down the road on this steep part, but with the road rocked it wasn’t doing any damage.water1

I  kicked dirt on this water crossing to stop that, but with no tools with me today, it wasn’t easy, just to do that.ditch2

This is the steepest part of the road which has some water going down it, but no real damage. I’ll have to work on that more when the rains stop.road3

Slides

This was the only real slide we had, not enough to cause any problems.slide4

Springs

This was the worst part. Lots of water popping out of the hills and running down the road in this area. But, it’s mostly flat and not doing any real damage.water5

You can see the water running down  the road from there. Just mostly surface stuff, not digging big ruts in the road, but it will need a good  ditch across the road and some rock when things dry out a bit. Fortunately this is a almost flat area, so the water isn’t doing any real damage, just looks bad.water6

I continued on up the road which mostly looked good with only a little water damage. That should be the last big rain storm for awhile.

It’s what we needed to see where the real problems in the road are, so they can be repaired and improved when things dry out a bit.

Our place

I wanted to go see our waterfall as with all the rain, it should be flowing real good, so I went down this road on our place. Fortunately this tree didn’t fall across the road. Shows it was real windy up  here last night.tree7

I took the trail down to the water fall and turned off onto the waterfall trail,…………But.

There was a tree across that trail so I had to turn around and headed for home where it was nice a warm.

Nice day.
