Fine Day Working In the Forest Burying the Spring Water Lines

Sunday November 15, 2020 Guerneville CA.

Spring water line burial

I had planned to do some stuff in the yard today but I couldn’t remember what it was.

So whatever it was it couldn’t be too important or needed done too badly.

Instead I loaded the tools on the quad runner and rode on up into the hills where I’ve been working burying the spring water pipes.

I parked here at the work area.

Covering it up

I started here burying the water line covering it up with dirt.

And worked my way down the water line trail covering things up as I went.

Got a nice little trail

The pipe got buried and I got a trail.

I continued down the trail burying the pipe as I went by pulling the dirt down from the upper hill side. See the rock in the back.

Rock pile

That’s to mark where the pipe has a coupler in it so I know where they are.

Around 4:30 the sun went over the mountain and it started to darken up a bit. I’d done enough work for the day burying about a 150 feet of water line so I sat around a bit just enjoying the nice peaceful forest while the rest of the world is going mad. :O)

Christmas trees

I took a different road back going through here, mostly fir trees also known as Christmas trees around here.

Water in the tanks

I stopped by our water tanks to check the water level and make sure the work we did on the input lines was working out. The tanks were 3 quarters full so that was good. See the pink ribbon. It marks the reverse of what it is.

Things looked good at the water tanks so I rode on home going down this road.

Yummy apples

On the way I stopped at one of my brother’s gardens as I knew there were some good winter apples there, so I picked a couple. Yummy, very crisp and flavorful.

Once I made it home it was almost dark so I shut the chickens in their pens and walked around the yard for a bit and then went in for the day.

Nice day getting some exercise in the forest.
