Jude's No Longer Got the School's in Session Blu-u-u-es
Now that Robin Baby-not is out of school, The Crew is managing more River Roadtrips. The weather has been cool, sometimes breezy, sometimes overcast. We love this type of weather--actually we love any kind of weather that isn't HOT. Anyway, we took a few pics, just to celebrate the perfect weather. Above is the defunct RR at the Freeport Bridge. There's another tweaked pic below--why the two didn't warp through cyberspace together remains a mystery.
Black-winged Red Bird.
Tweaked RR pic.
Telephoto of the water tower, taken while crossing the Freeport Bridge.Aren't water towers a little like aliens? Like, who really knows if there's "water" in them, or what their true purpose really is. Have you ever known anyone who has any actual experience with them? Who built them in the first place? And doesn't this one look just like a spaceship? Hmmmm.

Adventure Alert!
The Crew picked up Ben early yesterday morning, and after Jude did her stint with the physical therapist, we were off! Traveling north on Hwy. 49, we stopped at a few places to run some shovelfuls of dirt through our pans. All of which turned out to be a pretty good workout for Jude's knee--up and down mountains, over boulders, avoiding poison ivy, getting scratched with blackberry brambles. Jude had a GREAT time, topping everything off with a cold, snow-melt soak in the rivers.
A snow-melt waterfall that ran across the dirt road on our exit from the secret gold place.
Jude's knee was tender, red, a little swollen, and totally worn out, but today--it feels great.
We must have another Adventure--and soon. All in favor, say "Aye!"

Snow Trekin'
Whoopee!
Jude has gone and done it. She found a pair of quality snowshoes on end-of-season clearance for 70% off and bought them.
Look out winter, here comes The Crew!
Jude has a life. Jude HAS a life. Jude HAS a LIFE!

Night Trippin'
Jude has been such a Stuck Drudge Baby lately that she's been driving The Crew crazy. So Croc made the decision to go Night Trippin' along the Sacramento River--afterall a little Roadtrip is better than no Roadtrip!
So here we are, driving along and what do we see? A mother fox and her three frisky kits! Were we fortunate, or what?
Poem by Jude:
myself
******
catching myself in shadow,
thoughtful,
barefoot,
STUCK
Drudge Baby
I am convict rockstar,
crow bitch,
wrestling sidewinder,
breeze without cool,
sky without color,
dark and angry
