  1. I had a great paddle on the mouth of the #RussianRiver on a foggy day this weekend. It was much warmer than it looks! Several harbor seals poked their heads up to give me a looking-over. Or maybe the same seal several times? I did my best to keep my distance, but they popped up all over the deeper parts of the river.

    I promise I didn't prop that board on its fin! It's leaning on a conveniently-placed mound of sand.

  2. I pluck up the nerve to go for a walk alone through the forest neighborhood where we’re staying here on the Russian River. Me in my straw garden hat, tan pants I’ve worn every day now, and a dark pink shirt. I undoubtedly look like a vacationer in River drag.
    I stop at a wide clearing, looking at my phone to decide how far I want to walk today. An old beige sedan comes down the steep hill and I wave. They slow to a stop and roll down the window. The driver, skinny with a grey beard, shouts out, “Hey, does this road go to Casini Ranch?”
    I’m startled by the question, as I assume most people up here know where they’re going. “Oh, I don’t know where that is.” I tap on the search bar to be helpful. “Casini Ranch, you said?”
    He pauses, realizing I’m giving Boy Scout vibes, and said “Just say yes” with a wink.
    Finally I get the joke. “Ah…yes it does.”
    His passenger grins a gap-toothed smile. We wave again and they drive down the road which does not actually go to Casini Ranch.
