Tipped Apple Tree and Trail Work In the Forest

Friday November 26, 2021 Guerneville CA.

Tipped tree

One of my apple trees has fallen over so I need to do something about it to see if I can save it.

It’s a pretty good apple tree, a Macintosh.

I decided to trim as much of the tree off as possible to lighten it up so it’d be easier to upright. I had a little help.

I got it all trimmed down to this for now. I’ll work on righting the tree soon but  not today.

Headed out to work on a forest trail

It seemed like a nice day to do a little work up in the forest so I got some tools and got out to my front gate when I saw this car parked in my drive and thought, oh no, some park visitors have parked in my drive.

Ken shows up

But it turned out to be Ken who had stopped by for a visit but I wanted to head up to the forest.

We had time for a short visit, so we sat in some chairs and shot the bull for a bit before I excused myself and headed up into the hills.

Washout repair

The first place I stopped was here on this trail. The recent rains had washed bit of it out so I put some rock in it and did a repair that should hold up now with the rocks.

I continued up the trial to this spot where I cut some downed logs the other day. I was going to do some trial work in this area.

Tom shows up

While I was working on the trail my brother Tom came by in his side by side to inspect my work.

Logs

I lined the logs up along where the trail will be before taking off back down the trail headed for home.

I followed the trail down the hill as it wound through these redwood trees.

It was starting to get dark as I went through here, almost down.

And this is a nice section of the trail with the ferns and all, eh.

I made it back home just before dark as the night chill was starting to fill the air.

Nice day.
