Quick walk around Schollenberger

on February 18, 2022

Super quick walk around Schollenberger today. Cay and Cinnamon were both with me, and we had limited time. Not a lot of photos. It looked dryer again today. I'm going to have to take photos at high and low tides on the same day and see what the diffrence is.

But not today.

Walker Walking

I don't want to be off the trails forever. It's not likely that I'll be doing anything challenging or extensive anytime soon, and I proved that to myself yesterday in a rather unfortunate manner. Honestly? I'd probably do it again. I probably WILL do it again. One reason I got this walker, which is a bariatric walker and much larger and heavier than what I actually need for day to day walking, is because I wanted to be able to take it out on the trails: through the mud, over the smaller rocks and roots. I put it to the test yesterday. My original plan was to walk around the lake at Howarth Park. This would be my first visit to this particular park. It is a short (1 mile) loop around the lake, and there isn't a lot of elevation change. Of course, that's not how things turned out. At first, it seemed pretty simple. The path was wide, although unpaved. There are plenty of pretty stopping points for those who want to sit down...

This is not goodbye.

You may have noticed the last two posts (both of which I actually posted yesterday) do not say "Farewell Tour". That's because this is not goodbye. Friday morning, before what I believed at the time would be the last tide pool walk I'd ever go on, I called the apartments in Santa Fe. I was originally told the wait list was a year to a year and a half, but I found out that where I am on the wait list could have me waiting quite a bit longer... like 5 years longer. I do not foresee wanting to move at 70. After discussing the situation with Cay, it seems that their talk of moving to Santa Fe has also died down, due to her significant other's ties to his family here in Northern CA. That all changes things for me significantly. Yesterday that little tear shaped piece of sea glass on the beach really got to me. There's a bitter-sweetness to staying in CA: more whale watching in April in Monterey Bay, more Dicken's Christmas Fairs, and after Friday's tri...

Fall in Spring

I've been out of commission for a while. No, there was no banana peel, but there was a fall. A little blood, a lot of bruising, broken glasses, and a concussion. At this point, I'm pretty much recovered from everything but the bruising, which could (I'm told by doctors) last a couple months because of the severity. This week I'll be getting back into the swing of things, however, with the San Francisco Cherry Blossom Festival on Saturday, and the following week's trip to Monterey Bay to (hopefully) see orca on a whale watching boat out of Moss Landing for Cay's birthday. May is a whirlwind of activity for me, a lot of it occurring here at the apartments. Since we're having 3 major events in May, and I'm the director of the activities committee, I expect to be kept very busy. May 4th I'll be working at the tide pool touch table at the Bodega Fishermen's Festival with Stewards of the Coast and Redwoods. I'm only taking one shift, althoug...
