Opening Majulana
Russian River

A little more challenging this year than most, since
heavy spring rains brought down the hill across a 20-foot
section of the trail. Until we build an alternate route,
we'll use a creative mix of climbing, boating, and relying
on the graciousness of neighbors' sharing their stairs.
On the upside, the outboard started on the first pull,
even after sitting for two years. So the girls and I took
a run downstream to the Oddfellows Road bridge crossing,
and saw a trailer washed up by spring floods and a little
snapping turtle.
(Jerry: click on the thumbnails in the bottom row
to enlarge pictures of the straw-covered
raw hill above Vergie's cabin, the straw-covered remnant of path, and
an old, rusted tractor up higher on the hill near the alternate path.)
