Don’t you recall the warning from Velo Vol? You will be turning on the heat soon.

As we left for some evening errands, I heard a rustling in the garage. Did a little poking around and saw flashes of a chipmunk scurrying about. I had the main garage door open, but the damn thing just wouldn't run out of it, even though I'd chased it by the door multiple times. After a few minutes, I decided that I didn't have time for this nonsense and we went about our business.
When we got back, I tried to flush it out again. It still would not run out of the garage door, so I opened the service door, which is adjacent to the garage door but opens to our back yard. Damn thing shot right out. My wife and kids were sitting under the pergola at the time, and the chipmunk made a bee-line to the raised garden bed 6 feet away from them. Instead of hiding, it climbed up a corn stalk and just started stuffing itself, with absolutely no shame, as we watched on.
This little one was surely the critter that kept making a nest in the garden bed and its brazenness with the corn makes me wonder how long it was trapped in the garage.

Or in my case 87.5 km. Sad.
I'm surprised anyone is surprised.
Very much so.

We are just back from a trip to Kings Canyon and Sequoia NPs. Saw some very handsome trees, a bear, a few deer and, at our AirBnB daily visits from a flock of wild turkey, many rabbits and some guinea fowl. The girl dogs could see the critters out the glass front door. Bonkers.
We couldn’t take the dogs to the NPs but there’s a lot of adjacent National Forest, so we did NP stuff super early (when it was cool and they could snooze in their crates in the car). Then we’d have a picnic lunch and afternoon activity in the National Forest, where the dogs could join in. Took them hiking and “swimming” in the lake, etc. “Swimming” because they think water is dangerous and it takes all their bravery for their feet to leave the lakeshore, dog PDFs notwithstanding.
Yesterday we took them on an epic (for dachshunds) five mile hike up to an alpine meadow at 9000ft- Rowell Meadow. They did great and had a very fine time- digging for burrowing things, mucking about in mountain streams, chasing butterflies in the meadow.
Now I want to buy 40 acres of land in the Sierra foothills. Seriously.
PS Bike content: I rode one day in Kings Canyon. There was almost zip traffic, and the scenery was epic. But still- no shoulders, narrow road, I didn’t love it. In retrospect could have ridden some forest roads but I didn’t have the lay of the land enough to know. Had a fine time anyway.
What is new round here?

You don't have any obligations keeping you in town? Take a different bike for the jeep trails.
