Trying To Catch the Neighbors At Home High In the Hills

Ride up into the hills

I was going to take the dirt bike for a ride up to try and catch a neighbor that lives up on the hill tops for a visit.

Here’s a couple of drone shots to show where I rode the dirt bike and where the neighbor’s place is.

I rode on up this valley in the forest and then off to the right through those hills.hills2

 

And over to  the first grassy  hill top on the left. They live just over the other side of that hilltop.hilltops6

 

Their house is just up this road a bit.roadup

 

Almost there

I stopped and looked over the side of the road. Their  house is just up ahead in the trees there.ranch

 

And the view from there. I could see some fog trying to sneak in, up the river. Fog, off the ocean is our air conditioner, which keeps our temps fairly moderate. Unlike humidity, fog is cooling and not hot and sticky. It mostly comes in at night.fog

 

Neighbors

The guy I wanted to talk with was out on a bike ride and not around but his wife was and their grand daughter so we sat around and shot the bull for some time.

To the pond for a swim

Eventually Grandma took her granddaughter over to the pond for a swim so I headed on back to our place and rode the dirt bike around for some exercise.

Checked on the yellow jackets

Of course, I stopped to check on the yellow jacket situation and there was not one around. I walked the trail to the end and back just because it’s a nice trail and it’d give my older legs a good workout.

That all used up most of the day. I rode on home for a nap and that was it for me.

Nice day.

I Watched Marty Construct His Crawdad Trap While We Shoot the Bull

Saturday August 20, 2022 Guerneville CA.

Crawdad trap construction

Marty came by with his pattern for a crawdad trap he planned to construct. I  had plenty of wire to do the job so that’s why he came by to construct the trap.

He’d made a pattern out of paper to lay out on the wire to mark it so he could cut the wire out to size.

I took this photo when he got started.marty

 

While he was working on it we shot the bull and I forgot to get any more pictures, especially of the mostly finished project. We’ll be testing it out on our upcoming trip in about a  month.

Ride up into the hills

He finished in time so we could go for a bike ride up in the hills so we took off for that and rode up to the spring for a drink of water then did some more riding around and used the chairs I have up in the hills for a bit when ever we went by them. I forgot the camera again.

Anyway he got his trap mostly constructed and we had a good ride up in the hills.

When we made it back to my  house he headed for his house and I was tired out enough for a nap.

Nice day.
