Pretty Good Hat

We got up to Causey Reservoir for another morning paddle this week. Calm water made for some stunning and sometimes hypnotic, views.

Feeling safe enough to spend some time indoors at my parents’ house, I’ve been able to complete some important things that have been long neglected, like software updates and turning off motion smoothing on their new TV.

I went for a really nice paddle with my dad at the reservoir about 20 minutes up the canyon, yesterday. I hadn’t been up there in … 25 years or more? It’s a beautiful gorge with some winding passages and cool water.

Sunset was all right.

After a week of smoky, hot weather that kept us mostly inside, yesterday a small storm blew through and our air quality improved wonderfully, for a cool and fresh sunset walk.

Hazy sunrise walk. We’ve been pretty heavily covered by wildfire smoke from the Beckwourth Complex fire for several days.
