prune picker

This is the blog of a prune picker. (Native born Californian) Retired oilfield. I am an old man. I blog a lot about my body and getting old. As I approach death life gets more interesting. More interesting is not good. I still drive. I attend sports, music, and civic events. I am writing my memoirs. I attend swim class three times a week. Some of my blogs might be interesting. A lot of my blogs are silly and trivial. None are very long.

Mark's Bike Ride Report. 06/15/2019

It is about 3 weeks into the ride. Mark is resting up in the town of Lake Isabella. When I first saw this place in 1951 there was no Lake. The place was just Isabella. In 1953 a dam was built and the water covered the town. The town was moved over and renamed Lake Isabella.

Mark is at the end of the first section of the Pacific Crest Bike Trail map. The second section of the trail map is shown below. This is what Mark is starting on after a couple of days rest at Lake Isabella. It is sure a beautiful route. With Yosemite and Lake Tahoe along the way. I am looking forward to Mark's pics.


Today Mark was within inches of being ran over by an 18 wheeler. We are all so very grateful for those inches!

Here are some recent pics posted by Mark.






Mark and I like these Sierra clouds. Shot by Mark at Lake Isabella.

  1. Nice scenery, but I can't imagine the effort to pedal all that distance. Glad he's safe after that trucker incident.
