Hunting For the Right Rocks and a Forest Ride

Thursday February 22, 2024 Guerneville CA.

No rain today

I was expecting Barry to come by for a bike ride in the forest but he didn’t show up.

Well, might as get some work done and get some exercise at the same time.

I rode my rig up the hill and stopped at this overlook for a look.

Rocks

Then I continued on up the road to where this big fir tree fell down the other day across this road. There was some rocks here that I wanted to load up the rig with as it was a good size and not too large for me to lift and load.

I brought up the sledge hammer to break up any too large for me to pick up without straining my back too much.

I loaded up the large rocks that were there.

Here’s the roots of that big tree which I’ll have to remove off the road eventually, carefully.

Looking for rocks

I needed more rocks so I rode along this road looking for some.

I stopped to pick up these smaller ones along the road.

Jack pot

Up the road a bit further, I stopped here as I found what I was looking for, larger rocks.

There were a bunch of rocks about this size that I loaded up.

This was a good spot for the size rocks I was looking for. I loaded up the rig.

Controlling erosion

With a full load of rock I headed on down to the spot where I needed to unload the rocks and got most of them unloaded when Barry came by on his bike.

Since I almost had the rocks unloaded, I told Barry I’d meet him at my house and I’d join him for a ride. These rocks are just what I needed for this dam. I got them all unloaded.
