Nice Day For a Yak, But We Rode Up Into the Hills Instead

Thursday November 10, 2022 Guerneville CA.

Plans change

I had checked the weather report for the river and it looked real good so I was thinking of going kayaking today.,,,,,,,,,,,, But.

Going for a ride instead

When I looked out the window Barry was there with his truck and dirt bike so I got my stuff and joined him for a ride up into the hills.

We rode around for about an hour then we went through our neighbor’s gate to go pay them a visit as Barry was interested in their new electric bikes.

These are the neighbors that live up on the hill tops, just up this road.

No one home but the dogs

Their three dogs where there barking away at us, but no one seemed to be home so we started heading on back down the road when we went by an old road I indicated to Barry we should go up it and check it out so we did.

Short walk

We could only go a short ways when the road got too narrow to be safe in a spot so we parked the bikes and went for a walk out it to see where it went.

We were curious so it sucked us in and we kept on going down it when I recognized it as an old road that went to an old orchard an old Italian family used to own, before I was born, but I’d been up here a number of years ago exploring around.

The road went down through here.

And down this way to the old orchard up ahead. There wasn’t much left of the old orchard, just a couple of old plum trees.

From the orchard we looked down the valley I live in towards the town of Guerneville were we spotted this one reddish tree down there, almost to town.
