my beach access has a bike parking area that is under constant assault from golf cart owners, for whom this space was never intended. gets worse every year, people used to buy a bike when they moved to my island, now they all have to have a golf cart. it comes to a head on holiday weekends, when the bike rack is surrounded by golf carts and nobody can get their bike out easily.
yesterday afternoon, the area was packed and the bike rack was completely sealed off by two massive golf carts. so it warmed my black heart to see the word "thanks!" written across the plexiglass windshield of each one, in massive white letters. from the look and feel of the lettering, it was as if someone had a fresh bar of Mrs. Palmer's Warm Water Wax handy and used the angled edge for the bold white sticky lettering.
whoever did that, i'd buy them a beer

He was paying for it! Hell I guess we all pay for it.
I'm in Bakersfield and it's been 105. Fireworks are for sale everywhere, and I saw 3 barely teen kids selling them on their lawn. I booked a hotel on the hotels.com app and it's practically a crack and whore zone but it's got a/c blasting. If I lived here I'd most definitely be in your beach town right now, wherever that is. Tip - review anything east of hwy 99 in Bako before booking
Rest. Blackrock Station to Kern River with a full pack, mostly over scorched earth in solid 90s temps. Yesterday I started getting tinnitus, headache, runs, visuals about 2/3 down (turning around would have been stupid). Spent some time in the river, fished a little but decided going back up in that heat wasn't an option. This AM was wake at 4:30 to pack, hydrate/fuel up and scramble to some tree cover before the sun and heatAnd you’re there . . . . Why?
. Made it to the car in about 5hrs and felt much better today but I'm torched.

Really low flows for July, perfect for where I wanted to go and do (Kern Flat and above) but the Castle Fire really scorched a lot of the pristine area. Such a bummer. If you’re talking thr 20 mile section above the lake it was a holiday weekend zoo driving in and out.
