    You can see the road I came in on and if it wasn't so smoggy you could see 2 other counties in the distance. Like Wullie I used to travel about 200 miles a day minimum and see some pretty cool stuff. I am busting that rock up so it doesn't roll down the hill on those new houses someday. It was kind of hanging out on the slope and the geologist wanted it down to sign off on the job site. I had to lay out a 1,000 feet of air line to get power up there so it's about 650 ft. up.

    As for the critter shot I found this guy in the middle of the road one day. Hit by a car I guess. We quickly trusted each other and after about 7 weeks he was doing good. I turned him over to a bird rehab place because he needed a flight cage to gain his strength back before he could fly far enough to release. I got him to about 100' but then he would crash and burn.

    No leash, he just sat there with one hell of a grip on my hand. I took him to Pet Smart one day. Bad idea. He was calm but the girls that worked there no longer thought he was cool when I told them I brought him to pick out his own dinner. They no longer sold me rats or mice and I had to drive another 5 miles to get him food. I left him in the truck :<0).

    Default Forbestown and Swedes Flat Rd

    Hi Gang!! I went on another road trip today in the foothills above me to the East. Ended up in Forbestown Ca, 2820 foot elevation and fifty minutes away. Just getting into the good pines. The weather didn't cooperate, started out nice white clouds breaking up and ended up in a light rain. Hope you'all like them!

    That's it... I got to get out more. Most of the road trips I take are long distance these days. 1500 to 1700 miles 3 days to a week. Maybe I'll do one of those surf to ski weekends soon. Or get out some darts and the maps maybe.

    I've been having fun trying to find things I think others might like, but really close to home. I'm trying to give people a little view into what's around here. For as long as I can remember, if I met someone from out of state probably the first thing I will ask is, "what's it like where you're from"? What I love around here is, it can change so much in such a little distance. Some things I don't post, I figure people would be bored by them, I'm really interested in history, but I don't think anyone really cares about some of what I like. I did run across a monument to California's first rapper. It's where he tried to rob a stage. I figure he was a rapper, he was a criminal, and wrote verses inspired by his crimes, "Black Bart, the Po8." Maybe my next trip I'll take the #1 son and go up into the snow, there's a place there where it looks like the water runs uphill. I know!!! I'm sure you can't wait to see that!!!

    Ah, what the heck, here's the Black Bart thing. It used to have a gun, but someone chipped it out years ago.

    No I hate history, why else would I shave with a cut-throat . That's my sarcastic way of saying post the history, what is one mans trash is anothers treasure, as the saying goes. Same reason why you never get a reasonable answer to the question, "What's it like where you're from?" People from 'there' usually find it dull .
