I was just getting ready to start cleaning out the garage so I could move my new metal rack into it.

Forest ride

But Barry showed up for a bike ride in the forest so I got a reprieve from that for a bit.

We did the usual stuff riding around the hills and stopping at springs for a drink of water. Then we rode up to my cousin’s place for a good visit.

After that we rode up to the ridge top for a break and then rode around some more before getting all tired out so we headed for home. Barry took off for his place and I went in the house for a nap.

Garage work

Eventually, I came back outside to work on getting the garage cleaned out for the new metal rack.

I need to move all this metal on the floor to make room for the new metal rack which I will than load up with this metal and some more of it that is outside. Once that is done, I may  have a chance to clean up the rest of the garage, maybe. :O)

I  made a good dent in it and maybe one more time I’ll have things cleaned up enough to drag the new metal rack into the garage.

Nice day.

Saturday July 20, 2024 Guerneville CA.

I did a few things around the yard this morning, like watering and moving some woodchips for mulch.

Work in the forest

After that and because it was warming up, I sharpened the chainsaw and gassed and oiled it and loaded it in Hondo.

Game cam

I stopped here to retrieve my trail cam pics. Mostly foxes, jack rabbits and deer were in those pics.

The cam is on the tree to the left of Hondo and watches this Y intersection.

Clearing downed trees

From there I headed on up the hill to where I knew this tree was down across the road near the top.

The chainsaw will make quick work of this tree to remove it off the road.

That didn’t take long and now I can pass on by.

I headed to the top of the hill for a break from there and then headed on down the backside of the  mountain to this spot to cut another tree off the road.

It was a small tree and didn’t take long to remove.

Spring

I  headed on down the hill from there and stopped here for a drink of water at this spring.

A cup makes it easier to get a good drink of water.

I was headed over to another road, I wanted to check out to see about fixing it up, but only got to here where I had to stop for this big tree across the road.

It was a pretty good sized one.

And it’s stump was precariously hung up on the hillside.

I decided not to cut this one out of the way for now and turned around and went another way.

King snake

I spotted this king snake crossing the road in front of me. It crawled into the ditch.

I was watching it.

It started to crawl up the hill, when it started into a hole. It was a few inches in the hole with the rest of it’s body looked like the head was striking something in the hole a few times and then it crawled into the hole and was gone.

Snake track

Not far from there, at the turn around, I spotted this snake track. Looks like a rattle snake track to me, but no snake around.

I checked out the road I wanted to see and then headed down towards home, but stopped at this water pool for a bit on the way.

Nice day.
