Guerneville Elementary School Reunion and a Paddle At Jenner

Monday September 13, 2021 Jenner CA.

Paddle day

I met my Guerneville elementary school reunion people down at the Jenner boat ramp at 11:30 this morning for a paddle. We put our boats in the water and headed across the river to Penny Island and then headed down towards the ocean at a slow pace.ramp1

There were some brown pelicans there that we paddled by.pels3

 

Nice day

The wind was down as we headed to the mouth area. The water was real blue as the salty ocean water was coming into the river because it was high tide.group4

 

We stopped here to get a group picture.group5

 

End of the river

The ocean was real rough as we paddled by all these birds headed to the end of the river to the right.birds6

 

Checking out the ocean

The group wanted to land in the sand and take a look at the Pacific ocean so we landed and had a look.beached7

It was a great day

We made it back to the boat ramp where we all agreed it was a great day on the river.

They went to their rental house and I went home for a rest.

Evening chit chat

Later in the evening I joined the group at the rental house where we all had a good time chatting.deck12

Nice Dirt Bike Ride and That’s the Wrong House

Sunday September 12, 2021 Guerneville CA.

Plans change

I was going to do some work on the van. I wanted to grease it again and load some stuff………….But.

When I went outside this morning my brother Barry was there in his truck with his dirt bike ready to go for a dirt bike ride up into the hills.

Bike ride

So I got my dirt bike out and joined him for a ride and the van stuff would  just have to wait a bit.bikes

 

We rode around in the hills going up and down and around and around.barry2

 

Trimming branches

Barry had some brush cutters with him and would stop and trim the low branches that could hit us in the face.trimming3

 

Break area

Eventually we always end up at the Top of the World where we take a good long break.top4

 

Time to mount up and do some more riding around.mountup5

 

This small tree was blocking the road so Barry trimmed enough of it to get by.tree6

 

Drink of water at the spring

We stopped at the old Indian spring where we get most of our house water.spring7

 

We always get a drink and measure the water output which was about the same as always, just under a gallon a minute.water8

 

Nice ride

We did some more riding around when we left there and eventually went on home. That was a nice ride.

Van got greased

Barry took off for home and I greased the van and loaded a few things.

Reunion time

Some of my elementary school people were having a reunion and I was supposed to meet them at the house they rented around five.

Nobody home, I thought

I drove on down to the house where I thought they’d be but no one was there so I thought they must of went out to dinner so I drove on home and decided to come back a bit later.

Eventually I got an email asking where the heck was I? hummmm.

Wrong house

It turned out I was at the wrong house. I’d transposed a couple of the numbers in the address more than once. 17324 when I should have been at 17423. An older age thing I think.

Wrong house.house9

 

I found them

Anyway I drove on back down there to the wrong house again and realized my mistake with the numbers and drove around the road until I spotted their cars with the kayaks on top.

We had a nice visit after I explained myself. :O)

We will be going down to Jenner to kayak tomorrow.

Nice day.
