I went over to Bob’s yesterday.
He fixed up an old computer for me. So I went to his place in Guerneville to pick it up.
We messed with that for a bit and visited some; then put the computer in my jeep. We put another kayak on Bob’s car and went to Monte Rio to go kayaking on the Russian River.
It was a beautiful day. We put in at the boat ramp in Monte Rio and slowly paddled down stream toward the Villa Grand Hole, a couple of miles down the river.
There were several Great Blue Herons along the shore today.
We stopped several times in the shade of overhanging trees to check out wildlife and just generally relax.
Here is a cormorant warming itself in the sun.
This young Grebe came motoring by chasing fish.
That stick looks just like a blue Heron. Oh! It is a blue heron.
Eventually we made it to the Villa Grand Hole where we took a break.
There were a bunch of people on the beach across from the hole. They were having fun and playing in the water. We watched for a while and then headed back up stream toward Monte Rio.
On the way we came across a guy fishing from a canoe. He had a real good setup.
His girlfriend paddled the canoe while he fished.
She even got out of the canoe and pushed the canoe into the places the guy wanted to fish.
What a deal, and she was good looking too! ;o)
We got back to Monte Rio around 4:00 and headed for home.
It was a very pleasant day on the river.
It usually is.
This is the first chance I have had this summer to go on the river and I really enjoyed it.
