Forest Ride, Work and Play and Crab

Saturday November 4, 2023 Guerneville CA.

Up in the forest

Marty came by so we sat around and shot the bull for awhile, then we rode up into the forest with a chainsaw and some chairs.

We stopped on the way up and left the chainsaw on the trail to use it on the way back.

We continued on up to the hill top with the chairs.hilltop

 

This was the sky view when we arrived but it soon changed.sky2

 

Fog

Fog was creeping over the hills from the ocean after a short time up there.fog3

 

We rested up and I made a couple of flats in the hill so we could sit in the chairs.spot4

 

The sky had changed to this just before we left to continue our ride.clouds5

 

Trail work

This part of the trail was a little tipsy, so I did a little trail work and smoothed it out a bit.marty6

 

Spring

We stopped here at this spring for a drink of water.spring7

 

A bit of work

Here’s where I left the chainsaw on the way up the hill earlier. I wanted to clear out these small trees as a trail would be going through here soon, so we cut them down and cleared them out.saw8

 

The new part of the trail will go right through those big ferns. I’ll have to transplant some of them.cleared9

 

We had a good ride up into the hills and got a few things done. Marty took off for home and I went in for a nap.

Crab

My brother Tom had been out crabbing today as the season had opened today, so I got one of them. Yummy for dinner.crab

 

Nice day.

Getting Exercise Riding In the Forest and Doing Some Trail Work Too

Saturday November 3, 2023 Guerneville CA.

Forest ride for exercise

Barry came by this morning for a ride in the forest so off we went and rode around for a few hours to get some exercise.

We stopped at our usual spot up on the ridge top.bikes1

Some more exercise

When we got back to my house Barry took off and I had a good break before jumping back on the dirt bike and riding up to the trail I was working on for some more exercise.

I need to make a trail by these redwood trees so I cleared the area of sticks first and moved some of the redwood mulch out of the way too.forest4

 

After about an hour I had this much of the trail worked on and that was enough for me today, so I headed for home.trail5

 

The new clutch cable worked well with no problems.

Nice day.
