First of the season

I've been hearing from people that the mushrooms have been blooming so I thought I would go for a walk and see what I could find. Sure enough a modest harvest of Pleurotus ostreatus was to be found.

Duck opener

I never met my grandfather on my mothers side. That said he was an avid duck hunter and outdoorsman. I guess lifestyles sometimes skip a generation. The photos are waiting for the sun to rise, looking for ducks, and worn out dog.

Old timey transportation.

I saw this down in San Jose and the first thing that came to mind was all the trouble I could get into with one of these. Sonoma county has yet to get its rail line up and running so I could go any where I wanted on it (as long as its north or south)

Cache Creek hunt

I just got back from my trip to the Cache Creek Wilderness Area. First off I didn't get a Buck that said I saw everything else elk, bear,coyotes, rabbit, and plenty of quail and several does. The temp. was just below brutal(high eighties). I brought a pack that was 65 lbs but it should have been more like 40 honestly I over packed. I hiked about 12 miles as the crow flies with about 4000ft vertical change fully loaded and about six more miles with my day pack while hunting. Needless to say I drank a lot of water but aside from that and a level of exertion that I've not experienced in sadly as long as I can remember I will do it again for quail season.

Deer Hunting

I'm  off this morning to hunt the Cache Creek Wilderness Area for the week.  Wish me luck and I'll post pics when I return.

Lamborghini

the owner has three of these. "Lamborghini's? why yes I own three I keep then on my vineyard property". I was told they don't go very fast but handle quite well.
