Well....after dad working late Friday eve, Saturday morning we piled into the camper and off we went to the little town of Duncan Mills and camped by the Russian River. As promissed, mom pumped up the boat, and we had a paddle Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning..... Weather was on the foggy / chilly side, but the sun peeked through a few times...and the campground was more full than mom and dad have ever seen!!!
There was lots to see, and interesting stuff too.....
Birds nest high in the tree......
Fog teasing us by rolling back in!
You look that way, I'll look over here.....
Wow! Up close!
Mallards, but they didn't want us that close.....
I am a pretty serious looking kayaker here....lots to see...mom thinks I may have been eye-balling her hairdoo again! (I didn't go after it this time)
Colorful kayaks and canoes.
Yes, I have some funny kayak positions...and yes, mom is paddling and dad is keeping me occupied with my stickie....
Quite pretty and green out.
Saturday eve BONFIRE at the beach of the campground. Wooooh! That's a big one...but hosted by the campground folks.....
Campground beach coffee shack...funky artsy trailer!
I'm ready to go!! Let's roll that thing down to the beach. Come on slow pokes!
More wildness at the campground! This fella was guarding the campsite below......
These pink birdies were just hanging out. Very quiet like. Lots of them!
This campsite was on CNN! The two gals who were here, stay for 30 days and have been coming here for THIRTY YEARS! The site has evolved over the years, but they are becoming quite famous at this point.
Trolling........
The Russian River
Trolling again...lots of little seaweeds and bubbles....
Napping with dad....he tends to fall asleep in the boat! Too much hard work during the week.
Lots of GREEN!
Get that stickie!
Sunday afternoon, dad headed off on a 3 hour bike ride out to the coast....mom was happy, as he was EXACTLY 3 hours, didn't get lost, didn't get a flat, and had enough food. So, I helped lick off that salty sweat and get dad ready to head home....
Ready to head home dad!?

What great fun! I can't imagine going in a boat and being"allowed" in the lake. I'm so jealous I don't know what to do. I've got to get Mom to take me out of the city for a weekend - SOON. Maybe I'll nap in front of the A/C - again :(

Well done Dad!!! Great pictures of your trip - scary crocodile or was it an alligator and is there a difference?
ReplyDeleteYou are growing up to be a very serious puppy Sierra Rose - you were looking as though there was some deep thinking going on in that kayak!
The Russian river shot looked beautiful - our favourite has to be the bottom one!!!
