Forest Work, Checking Out an Old Road and Old Cars

Sunday June 29, 2025 Guerneville CA.

Forest ride

I rode up into the forest to visit with a couple of neighbors, but didn’t find them home so I rode down to the water hole I was working on to check it out to see how it was  holding water or was it leaking. This one seemed to be not leaking and was holding water, which was good.pool1

Checking an old road

With nothing better to do, I rode on over to another neighbor’s place to check out this old road that needs to be opened up.

I parked here, at the end of the good part of the old road and went for a walk down the part that needs some work on it.rig2

Big trees

There’s a couple of big trees that have fallen across the old road that will need to be cut so I can get them off the road.road3

Here’s another big tree that needs to be removed.road4

And this log will need to be removed after cutting it to make it easier to remove.log5

I walked all the way down it until I got to a part of the old road that was in pretty good shape and then headed on back up it to where the rig was parked.road6

It’s always nice to get back to a rig after climbing back up the old road.rig7

Old cars

Back home, I took some pictures of these two old cars I need to get towed to the scrap yard.

This 1978 one that I used until it wouldn’t go anymore.car8

And this 1988 one that still ran when I stopped using it and replaced it with a newer modern car. I used it for a long time but it was starting to get lots of little things wrong with it.car9

Nice day.

Some Puttering Around In the Forest Today

Saturday June 28, 2025 Guerneville CA.

Side by side ride

I took off and headed for the hills after putting a shovel in the rig.

My first stop was at this spring to clean it out a bit so the water flows better.spring1

Pond

Then I rode on over to the pond and looked for a yellow jacket nest in a hole by the inlet water.  I looked and looked but could not locate it in the ground.pond2

Fish

Even though the ponds water level has been dropping fast the little fish are doing just fine.fish3

Water hole

Then I rode on down to this little water hole to divert the drain water to where it will drain down to where the waterfall is down below this level. I want to drain the water more to the left side with a little ditch I need to make.pool4

Here is another view of this little water hole.pool5

The drain ditch wasn’t too hard to shovel out despite a few rocks. You can see the ditch towards the back.drain6

Now the water is flowing the right way towards the waterfall down below this area.channel7

That little dich should dry up this big muddy area.dryup8

 

Nice day.
