...Barely tolerable, I daresay...

We took another day trip to the Kern River Valley today.  Lovely weather, nice drive, beautiful sights to be seen.  A good time was had by all.  We didn't go on the nature walk this time.  I wanted to see Keysville thinking it was a place I'd been to before, but now I think I was mistaken.  *sigh*  I love looking at old cemetaries, and I was thinking that was the site of one, but nope.  Nothing left to see but a really old outhouse with two seats!  We did see an old cemetary, but it's not the one I remember.  A nice walk in the woods trying to find more of the old town. 

There was a Bioawareness day going on in Kernville today.  Lots of wildlife related stuff on display with some other stuff for sale here and there.  Nothing big, but very cool.  I had a snake crawl on me.  They're much softer to the touch than I thought they'd be.  Kinda squishy to be honest.  But nice and smooth. 

After the bust in finding anymore old cemetaries, we stopped by the river and clambered amongst the big boulders all along the banks.  Some are eroded in really cool swirls and circles and polished smooth.  We climbed down to a eddy zone and picked up some smooth river rocks that I wanted to take home.  They're cool!  I think I found some petrified wood that's been tumbled smooth.  I'll try to post some pics from our day tomorrow when I'm more awake.

I totally pigged out at dinner!  OMG!  I was craving Mexican food and we went to a local place.  I had enchiladas rancheros.  Mmmmmm!  Lots of sour cream and guacamole!  A blow to my diet, but it's not like I do this sort of damage every day.  Oh it was good, though!  

I did get a bit of a workout toting those rocks back up the road to the car.  We were parked a good quarter mile away up hill!  Who needs cardio and weights when hauling rocks??  I was totally afraid to climb on the rocks on our last trip, but this time I felt much more able to handle it and I felt a bit more sure-footed. 

Crap ton of stuff to do tomorrow.  Laundry for work and gym clothes, trip to Costco, groceries, etc.  Tired...
