Once I got it going today I was outside loading things in my van. Today mostly food stuff and clothes.
Dirt bikes
I was checking the chickens water and feed when my brother Barry rode his dirt bike into the yard. He needed some air in his tires.
I didn’t have a lot to do today so I decided to go with him for a ride on the family property across the road.
We’re off
I was close behind Barry as he went out my front gate.
We had to stop at his truck so he could get all his riding stuff on before heading up into the hills for our ride.
A break at the ridge top
He told me to lead so I did taking him around the roads and trails until we got to the ridge top where we stopped for a bit. Barry’s sitting under the big tree on the left checking out road maps on his smart phone as I mentioned we’d been not taking all the short cuts on highway 20 east that I discovered lately.
Guerneville
Here’s a picture of Guerneville. There is some fog sneaking in on the right on the mountain tops.
Fog looks like snow
From there we rode up to what’s called the top of the world to have a look. The snow on the hill tops is fog sneaking over the tops of the hills from the ocean which is also on the other side of those hills.
Barry’s talking about going down that hill and I say not me, too steep and besides I’m leading.
Obstacles on the road
We had to stop and take this little rotten tree off the road to get by.
Always a little work
And we stopped at this creek crossing to improve it a bit to make it easier to cross.
Good ride
We had a nice ride for a couple hours. Eventually I headed back to Barry’s truck and said you can do the steep ones now, see you later and I went back to my yard to continue loading my van and got the boat on the top of it.
Chickens are fed
I thought I’d load up the chicken feeders for my helper so mixed some up in a bucket and loaded up all the chicken feeders so that’s ready to go.
I’ve only got a few things to complete to finish the van’s loading and I’ll do that in the morning before I leave.
Off on an adventure
So I’ll be off in the morning headed towards Winnemucca Nevada where I hope to post a blog in a couple days when I get there.
I’m sure you’re anxious to head out on your trip. Are you travelling alone then? What beautiful views from up on the hilltops. I can see why it is called the top of the world! I sure don’t blame you for not going down that steep hill.
Safe travels in the morning! Your chicks will miss your attention.

Header Pictures
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.
