While out riding I came to a place I never knew existed
« on: March 07, 2016, 06:47:11 PM »
I just got a new set of tires, belt and roller and wanted to take the scooter out for a long ride. In my travels I happened upon Chitactac-Adams County Park. From the website:

Welcome to Chitactac-Adams Heritage County Park. This beautiful and culturally significant 4.3-acre park site is located just minutes from the cities of Gilroy and Morgan Hill. The park features the beautiful Uvas Creek and a wealth of cultural artifacts including bedrock mortars and petroglyphs left by the Ohlone Indians. The park includes a self-guided interpretive walk and an interpretive shelter focusing on Ohlone Indian culture and the Adams schoolhouse which was sited on this property from the 1850s until 1956.

The site also includes a reproduction of an Ohlone village which includes a tule house, acorn granary and lean-to.

Worked at IBM Santa Teresa lab near there in the 80s. Looks like a nice park. Enjoy the scoot!

I noted how those Native American gal's bottoms wore those rocks nice and smooth.
Good thinking.
I like to prepare my work space also.
Throw out the cones, put up the caution tape and start the coffee....then post the break schedule.
(Yrs ago we were repairing the roof of an adolescent half-way house (3 story). I told my crew ... "if you fall off the roof I will deduct however long you lay there moaning directly from your lunch break. So, be careful!"
True story: lady from the newspaper came out to take pix and write a story of my crew building 3 concession stands at a new soft-ball complex. She had a heck of a time getting pix of the guys - after she left I learned why -  fully 50% of my crew was wanted for something! ) (I loved those guys - one had one arm, another one eye, Chester had no forehead so we made him keep a hat on, one spoke only Russian (we think), Billy was wider than he was tall, Nate was 4' tall - and had two massive hernias showing) these guys were my assistant foremans for the rest of the gang ! For 8 yrs we built, painted , cut monster trees and cleared old cemeteries all over the county. Worst job was entirely removing a double murder farm house and out buildings. Cut and stacked 71 chords of hardwood one summer - & since we were working with-in eye sight of a high school we made one chord the urinal station. Hate to've been the person who bought that chord of wood at the auction.)

(Trout-B, just a suggestion ......maybe put your scooter in a scene or two...so we know we've not accidentally logged on to an educational web site! )

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

I would have liked to placed my scooter near some of the scenes, but the park itself with the relics and structures are set in away from the parking lot. Depth of field on these smart phones are limited so combining scooter with scenes from the attraction weren't possible. Hopefully next find will have access to bring scooter and place into the pictorial.
